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

aimTo explore the occupational and personal life dimensions that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic for registered nurses (RN) and licensed practical nurses (LPN).

designQualitative interpretive description approach.

methodsBetween July and September 2020, a web-based cross-sectional study was conducted among RNs and LPNs in Quebec, Canada. Included in this survey was an open-ended question allowing nurses to describe the occupational and personal life dimensions that were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Thematic analysis was used to interpret the qualitative data from this open-ended question. Reporting followed the Standards For Reporting Qualitative Research (SRQR).

resultsOf the 1860 survey respondents, 774 RNs and 43 LPNs responded to the open-ended question (total n = 819). For the occupational dimension, six themes were identified: impacts of infection control on work, change in daily work tasks, offloading and reorganization of care, deterioration of working conditions, increased stress at work and issues related to the profession. For the personal dimension, four themes were found: impacts on the family, dealing with changes about leisure and personal life, impacts on physical and psychological health.

conclusionKnowing the dimensions affected by the COVID-19 pandemic could help to identifying appropriate interventions to support RNs and LPNs. IMPACT: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the occupational and personal lives RNs and LPNs working in the Quebec healthcare system. More specifically, Quebec's nurses experienced a major reorganization of care generated by important government decisions. Knowing how the pandemic affected different life dimensions will help in the development of support adapted to nurses' realities. Even in a pandemic context, improvements in the work environment or appropriate support could lead to an improved psychological health for nurses.
