1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionProfessional quality of life (ProQOL) that encompasses compassion satisfaction (CS) and compassion fatigue (CF) comprised of burnout (BO) and secondary traumatic stress (STS) has been raised as a world-wide issue for the nursing profession. Limited attention has been paid to the vulnerabilities of nursing students to ProQOL and the associated mechanisms. PURPOSE: Determine what factors are predictive of ProQOL in a population of undergraduate nursing and psychiatric nursing students. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted comprised demographic questions and four validated measures: the Professional Quality of Life Scale (version 5), Core Self-Evaluations Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, and Life Events Checklist (version 5).

resultsStudents in long-term care-palliative care rotations reported significantly higher levels of BO in comparison to other care areas. Regression analysis revealed students with low self-efficacy and high perceived stress were predictive of BO. Students with increased exposures to prior traumatizing life events were predictive of STS. Students with high levels of self-efficacy and less intent-to-leave were predictive of having CS.

conclusionFindings assist educators, clinicians, and policy makers in understanding at-risk clinical settings and predictors of ProQOL in pre-licensure students. Curricular recommendations that include mindfulness, coping and crisis peer-debriefing, and emotional intelligence are discussed.
