Job satisfaction and associated factors among married female nurses at a district hospital in Sri Lanka: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundJob satisfaction is a key determinant of nursing performance and retention, yet married female nurses may face unique personal and professional demands that influence their workplace experiences.
methodsThis descriptive cross-sectional study assessed the level of job satisfaction and the personal, work-related, and socio-economic factors associated with job satisfaction among married female nurses working at a District General Hospital in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka. A sample of 306 nurses was selected through simple random sampling, and data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire comprising demographic variables and the validated Nurse Job Satisfaction Scale (ESET). Descriptive statistics and one-way ANOVA were performed using SPSS version 26, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05.
resultsA total of 251 nurses responded. Overall job satisfaction was high (132.07 ± 20.64), with the highest satisfaction observed in professional recognition (3.9 ± 0.66) and the lowest in recognition and remuneration (3.00 ± 0.85). Significant associations were identified between job satisfaction and age (p = 0.031), workplace unit (p = 0.001), and educational level (p = 0.010).
conclusionsThese findings underscore the complexity of job satisfaction and highlight the need for further research to explore additional associated factors affecting married female nurses.
