Nurses' and nurse leaders' perspectives on a health-promoting work environment: a meta-ethnographic study.
Review in International journal of qualitative studies on health and well-being, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
purposeThe purpose of this meta-ethnography is to integrate and synthesize nurses' and nurse leaders' perspectives on a health-promoting work environment to enhance understanding of its essential aspects.
methodsA meta-ethnographic approach developed by Noblit and Hare was conducted.
findingsLine of argument synthesis led to the development of an overarching tree metaphor: "cultivating a flourishing environmental tree rooted in values, held stable by leadership, and nurtured by safe working conditions." This metaphor illustrates that a health-promoting work environment is imbued with three interdependent aspects: 1) core values as the roots of the tree, including respect, recognition, community, and engagement 2) value-conscious leadership as the trunk of the tree, meaning a leader who is conscious of their power position and responsibilities and 3) safe working conditions as fertile soil for the tree, comprising the physical and administrative dimensions of the work environment.
conclusionsCollaboration between nurses and leaders is crucial for cultivating a health-promoting work environment. However, nurse leaders, due to their influential positions, have the responsibility to facilitate this environment. Consequently, leaders need to receive adequate resources and support from their superiors to foster an environment that enhances nurses' health and job satisfaction.
