The Work Behind the Work: Logistical-Administrative Workload, Health Technology Satisfaction and Missed Nursing Care Among Belgian Hospital Nurses.
Article in Journal of nursing management, 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
backgroundHospital nurses face increasing logistical-administrative demands and the widespread use of digital systems. Both may affect job satisfaction and patient safety by increasing workload and contributing to missed nursing care.
objectiveTo quantify logistical-administrative workload and satisfaction with health technology among hospital nurses and to identify associations with job satisfaction and the prevalence of missed care.
designCross-sectional survey. SETTING(S): A national cross-sectional survey of all nurses working in hospitals in Belgium was conducted between September 16 and October 18, 2024.
participantsA total of 3613 hospital nurses (79% staff nurses and 21% nurse managers) completed the entire online survey.
methodsAn online questionnaire assessed the proportion of time spent on administrative and logistical tasks, satisfaction with health technologies, job satisfaction, and 15 types of missed nursing care. Multivariable logistic and Poisson regression models, adjusted for sociodemographic and work environment factors, were applied.
resultsNurses reported spending a median of 18% per shift on logistical-administrative tasks, with staff nurses spending more time than nurse managers (20% vs. 10%, p < 0.001) on these tasks. Overall, 71.7% were satisfied with their job, yet 72.1% reported at least one missed care activity. Higher logistical-administrative workload was associated with greater odds of job dissatisfaction (ORa = 1.15, 95% CI [1.10-1.20]) and more missed care (IRRa = 1.12 [1.04-1.20]). Dissatisfaction with health technologies was similarly linked to job dissatisfaction (ORa = 1.30 [1.07-1.58]) and missed care (IRRa = 1.17 [1.10-1.24]). Poor or average work environment was strongly associated with job dissatisfaction (ORa = 15.51 [12.04-19.71]) and missed care (IRRa = 1.36 [1.28-1.50]).
conclusionsHigher perceived logistical-administrative workload and lower satisfaction with health technologies were associated with increased job dissatisfaction and missed nursing care among hospital nurses. These findings highlight the importance of considering how administrative demands and digital tools are integrated into daily nursing work when addressing working conditions and care quality.
