Exploring sources of job satisfaction and work-related stressors experienced by organ and tissue donation coordinators in Canada: a qualitative analysis.
Article in BMJ open, 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
objectivesTo explore the sources of job satisfaction and work-related stressors experienced by organ and tissue donation coordinators in Canada.
designA qualitative descriptive approach incorporating semi-structured virtual interviews conducted between March 2022 and April 2024. Inductive coding was used for this analysis.
settingCanadian organ donation organisations.
participantsCoordinators from across Canada working in deceased organ and tissue donation programmes.
resultsPerspectives from 39 coordinators from 10 organ donation organisations across Canada were explored in this analysis, of which most had a nursing degree (n=35, 89.75%) and a background in intensive care (n=32, 65.30%). Most participants were female (n=95, 81.9%), and the average age of participants was 41.8 (9.64). Satisfying aspects described by coordinators included interpersonal interactions, personal factors (such as a calling to the role) and work-related factors (such as the diverse work environment). Meanwhile, coordinators also highlighted work-related stressors experienced related to the outcomes, processes and structures of their roles.
conclusionsFindings from this analysis emphasise the complex work-related stressors and satisfying aspects of work experienced by coordinators in Canada in delivering life-saving donation care. Steps to enhance and increase the satisfying aspects of the role and to reduce the modifiable stressors are warranted to support coordinators' critical work and their work-related well-being.
