The Relationships and Mediating Effects of Work-Life Factors on Acute and Chronic Fatigue Among 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
backgroundFatigue is a prevalent occupational health concern among nurses. Inadequate recovery from acute fatigue may contribute to persistent fatigue, while work-related and life-related factors may influence this process.
aimTo examine factors associated with chronic fatigue and the mediating roles of life-related factors in the association between acute and chronic fatigue among Taiwanese nurses.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted. A total of 322 clinical nurses were recruited through online forums and social media groups and completed a web-based questionnaire assessing sociodemographic characteristics, work-related factors, health-promoting lifestyle behaviors, and occupational fatigue. Analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation, hierarchical multiple regression, and partial least squares structural equation modeling with bootstrapping were used.
findingsAcute fatigue was strongly correlated with chronic fatigue (r = 0.70), whereas intershift recovery was negatively correlated with chronic fatigue (r = -0.58). The addition of intershift recovery significantly increased the explained variance in chronic fatigue by 2.0% beyond acute fatigue and work-related factors. Life-related factors further increased the explained variance by 2.6%, while intershift recovery remained negatively associated with chronic fatigue in the adjusted model (β = -0.19, p < 0.001). Mediation analysis further showed significant indirect associations through interpersonal support and stress management, whereas the indirect effect through physical activity was not significant.
conclusionsAcute fatigue is strongly associated with chronic fatigue, while adequate intershift recovery and psychosocial and lifestyle-related factors may be important in limiting fatigue accumulation. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nurse managers should support adequate recovery between shifts, manage psychological work demands, and strengthen interpersonal support and stress-management resources to reduce persistent fatigue and promote nurses' long-term well-being.
