Influencing Factors of Thriving at Work of Operating Room Nurses: A Qualitative Study Based on Social Ecosystem Theory.

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
backgroundThe thriving at work of operating room nurses is crucial to patient safety, the quality of nursing care, and team stability. However, the current understanding of the status quo, influencing factors, and mechanisms underlying thriving at work among Chinese operating room nurses remains limited.
aimThis study aimed to explore the factors influencing thriving at work among operating room nurses based on social ecosystem theory.
designA descriptive qualitative research design was used.
methodsSixteen operating room nurses were recruited in Xinjiang from February to March 2025 and interviewed face-to-face. Data were analyzed using NVivo 12.0 software, and themes were identified via Colaizzi's seven-step analysis.
resultsThe analysis yielded three themes and nine subthemes aligned with the domains of social ecosystem theory: (1) microsystem: coping ability and personal character; (2) mezzosystem: work-family role conflict and responsibilities, collaboration of the work team, positive feedback for work, colleague-related emotional experiences, and nurse manager support and empowerment; and (3) macrosystem: societal perceptions of the nursing role and professional standards for operating room practice.
conclusionsFrom the perspective of social ecosystem theory, this study systematically identified influencing factors of operating room nurses' thriving at work at micro-, mezzo-, and macrolevels for the first time. In the future, managers should attach importance to these factors, establish an individual-organization-society multidimensional support system, and implement personalized management strategies to facilitate coordinated development of individuals and organizations.
