Drivers to Stay or to Leave: Perceptions of the Nursing Work Environment Across Diverse Healthcare Sectors.
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. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundLong-term care and home and community care sectors are not perceived as workplaces of choice for nurses.
aimTo describe (1) what creates a desirable work environment in long-term care, home and community care, and hospital sectors for nurses; (2) what motivates nurses to work in these sectors; and (3) what influences nurses to leave these sectors when they do.
designAn open, cross-sectional online survey.
methodsRegistered Practical Nurses and Registered Nurses across Ontario were recruited broadly to rate 14 statements in a survey regarding their beliefs about three healthcare sectors (i.e., long-term care, home and community, and hospital sector) and 20 statements regarding their perceptions of motivation, and attrition-related factors, to work in these sectors.
resultsData from Registered Practical Nurses (N = 264) and Registered Nurses (N = 109) were analyzed (total N = 373, completion rate = 90.7%). Nurses report that they leave work in long-term care and/or home and community care because they are seeking better work-life balance, an increase in pay, and because they do not feel valued or appreciated by their employer. While nurses agree that their schooling has prepared them well to work in these sectors, they also agree that they would be more motivated to work within these sectors if they were able to determine their own availability.
conclusionFinancial and nonfinancial influences were reported within the motivating and push factors for nurses to work in these sectors. The reported beliefs of nurses enforced the stigma attached to working as a nurse within these two sectors and provided novel insight into the system and organizational challenges for nurse workforce recruitment and retention.
