Structural Empowerment and Nurses' Intention to Stay in the Profession: A Descriptive Cross-Sectional Survey.
Article in Nursing 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
aimNursing, as a critical profession in the healthcare system, faces challenges such as limited access to resources, information, and professional opportunities, which may contribute to nurses' intention to leave the profession. Structural empowerment may improve the work environment and enhance job motivation. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between structural empowerment and nurses' intention to stay in the profession.
designA descriptive cross-sectional survey.
methodsThis descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 186 nurses working in Hamedan, Iran, using a convenience sampling method. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Conditions of Work Effectiveness Questionnaire-II (CWEQ-II), and the Wiener and Vardi Intention to Stay Questionnaire. Data were analysed using SPSS version 16.
resultsA significant positive correlation was found between structural empowerment and nurses' intention to stay in the profession (r = 0.49, p < 0.001). The overall levels of structural empowerment and intention to stay were moderate. Among the dimensions of structural empowerment, access to opportunities had the highest mean score (3.7 ± 0.85), whereas access to resources had the lowest (2.5 ± 0.91). Employment type was also significantly associated with nurses' intention to stay in the profession. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution was involved in the design, conduct, reporting, or dissemination plans of this research.
