Factors that Master of Nursing students associate with study progress in higher education institutions in Gauteng province.

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
backgroundGlobally, the unsatisfactory progress of postgraduate students registered for a master's degree is a cause for concern. It affects graduation numbers and completion time.
aimThis study aimed to determine the perceived supervisory-researcher community support, research writing, work-life balance, and research conceptions factors that Master of Nursing students associate with study progress.
settingThe study was conducted in three selected higher education institutions (HEIs) in the Gauteng province.
methodA correlational cross-sectional research design was utilised. A self-administered questionnaire adapted from the Cross-Country Doctoral Experience Survey was e-mailed to a total sample of 136 Master of Nursing students who were at least in their second year of study, of which 122 (89.7%) responded. Descriptive statistics, factor analysis, the Mann-Whitney U test, and the Kruskal-Wallis test were used to analyse the responses.
resultsMost of the students' perception was greater regarding supervisory-researcher community support and research conceptions. Despite a high mean composite score of 4.134 (SD-1.452) on work-life balance, some respondents found it difficult to balance work and life. Respondents with a source of income perceived greater supervisory-researcher community support (
conclusionThere is need for HEIs to develop or strengthen interventions targeting research writing and work-life balance factors that were perceived to result in less support. Funding remains a concern for Master of Nursing students. CONTRIBUTION: This study contributes to knowledge on factors that Master of Nursing students associated with study progress.
