Qualitative exploration of the challenges and the benefits of the nursing process in clinical practice: A study among registered nurses in a municipal hospital in Ghana.
Article in Nursing open, 2021. 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
aimThis study aims to explore the challenges and benefits of using the nursing process in a Ghanaian Hospital.
designThe study employed a qualitative descriptive design to explore the challenges and the benefits of the utilization of the nursing process.
methodsTwelve (12) Registered Nurses were recruited for the study using purposive sampling. Recorded in-depth interviews were conducted and data were analysed using thematic analysis.
resultsThe study found a low nurse-to-patient ratio, inadequate knowledge, apathy, inadequate logistics, poor supervision as challenges. However, quality and cost-effective care improved nurse-patient relationships, and job satisfaction was found to be the benefits of nursing process use. Interventions to improve its utilization should be targeted towards improving the nurse-to-patient ratio, provision of adequate resources and inclusion of the nursing care plan in patient folders.
