Occupational and personal factors contributing to participation in occupational health promotion programs for employees in nursing home facilities: a secondary analysis of the PROCARE 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
backgroundNursing staff are exposed to demanding occupational conditions, including physical load, physiological stress and negative institutional factors that are associated with job turnover and unhealthy behavior, health complaints (such as back pain), and other issues. Occupational health promotion programs, such as ergonomics and exercise, are offered to counteract these unfavorable trends, but participation is often low. However, knowledge about factors favoring or reducing the participation of nursing staff in occupational health promotion programs in nursing home settings remains incomplete. Given this limited and inconclusive evidence, this study followed an exploratory approach for the participation analysis.
methodsThis cross-sectional secondary analysis explored potential predictors that may be associated with participation in tailored occupational health promotion programs in nursing home facilities. We analyzed multicenter data of nurses (n = 310) from 47 nursing homes invited to participate in tailored occupational health promotion programs (PROCARE study). We focused on reasons for (non-)participation, including occupational and individual factors and conducted a logistic regression analysis to examine the potential predictors associated with nurses' participation in occupational health promotion programs.
resultsThe findings suggested that a better relationship with colleagues (workplace environment) (OR = 0.569; CI [0.360 0.899]) and a higher physical activity level (individual health behavior) (OR = 0.525; CI [0.328 0.842]) were associated with a higher likelihood of participation in occupational health promotion programs.
conclusionsWe identified possible predictors associated with participation, such as the work environment and the individual health behavior, that could be considered during the planning and implementation of occupational health promotion programs. Future programs might consider a linkage to individuals' health behavior change strategies and address the relationship to colleagues. This tailoring could be particularly relevant to support employees' participation in occupational health promotion programs in the implementation phase.
trial registrationThe PROCARE study was registered with the German Register of Clinical Trials (DRKS.de; DRKS00015241).
