Analysis of the mediating effect of occupational burnout on the relationship between emotional labor and turnover intention among obstetric nurses.

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
Objective: This study aimed to examine the mediating role of occupational burnout in the relationship between emotional labor and turnover intention among obstetric nurses in China. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 205 obstetric nurses from six tertiary hospitals in Fuyang City, China. Validated scales were used to assess emotional labor (Emotional Labor Scale, ELS), occupational burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory, MBI), and turnover intention (Turnover Intention Scale, TIS). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation, univariate analysis, multiple linear regression, and structural equation modeling (SEM) with Bootstrap mediation analysis. Results: Significant associations were found between nurses' emotional labor and occupational burnout ( Conclusion: Occupational burnout serves as a critical mediator between emotional labor and turnover intention among obstetric nurses. These findings highlight the urgent need for healthcare organizations to implement targeted interventions, including workload optimization, adaptive emotional labor training, and comprehensive psychological support programs. Such strategies are essential for reducing nurse turnover, ensuring adequate staffing levels, and ultimately improving maternal and neonatal care quality in healthcare systems.
