Nursing students' risk perceptions related to medication administration error: A qualitative study.
Article in Nurse education in practice, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
aimThe purpose of this study was to explore and describe pre-licensure nursing students' perceptions of risk for medication administration errors in fourth-year baccalaureate student nurses from three campuses at a large central Pennsylvania university.
backgroundMedication administration errors continue to be a significant safety concern in healthcare settings. Pre-licensure nursing education is a critical time period during which to have an impact on future medication administration practices. Perception of risk influences decision making and behavior, including nursing clinical decision making.
designThis descriptive, exploratory study involved a qualitative design.
methodsA thematic analysis of the qualitative data resulting from 60 individual, in-depth semi-structured interviews was conducted.
resultsThe participants offered rich, detailed narratives which revealed the following themes: (1) the nature of risk perceptions, (2) more opportunities to learn, (3) experiences with medication administration error, and (4) intrinsic characteristics influence errors.
conclusionsThe findings provide a broad description of the nature of student nurse risk perceptions for future medication administration errors. Recommendations for nursing education practice and pedagogy include additional clinical experiences, modified pharmacology curricula and instruction, and expanded simulations involving medication administration error.
