Attitude Towards Documentation and Its Associated Factors Among Nurses Working in Public Hospitals of Hawassa City Administration, Southern Ethiopia.
Article in SAGE open nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundNursing documentation is the record of nursing care that has been planned and delivered to individual clients by qualified nurses or under the direction of qualified nurses. Various studies have shown that documentation is still a critical issue in both high- and low-income countries, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa like Ethiopia. However, there is a paucity of data in Ethiopia, the attitude of nurses towards nursing care documentation, particularly in the study setting. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the nurse's attitude towards documentation and associated factors in Hawassa City administration public hospitals, Southern Ethiopia.
methodsInstitutional based cross-sectional study was conducted among 422 nurses from March 01 to 30, 2020. A simple random sampling technique was applied to select the study participants. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire. Statistical package of social science (SPSS) version 20.0 software was used for analysis. The association between the attitude of nurses towards documentation and predictors was determined using multivariable logistic regression analysis. The level of statistical significance was determined at a p-value of less than 0.05.
resultAmong 413 nurses who participated in the study, 58.8% [95% CI of 54.5% to 63.7%] of them had a favorable attitude towards documentation. Work setting [AOR = 1.94 (95% CI: 1.23-3.05)] and Knowledge [AOR = 3.28 (95% CI: 2.08-5.16)], were significantly associated factors with nurses' attitude towards documentation.
