COVID-19 effects on practice: Perspectives of Tennessee APRNs.
Article in Nursing forum, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundIn response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Tennessee's Governor issued executive orders temporarily suspending certain practice restrictions on advanced practice registered nurses (APRN), which expired after 2 months as the pandemic worsened. PURPOSE: This purpose of this qualitative study was to analyze APRN interview data to evaluate how prepandemic APRN practice barriers, executive orders, and the pandemic affected APRN practice in Tennessee.
methodsFifteen Tennessee APRNs who completed the National APRN Practice and Pandemic study also completed follow-up interviews via a HIPAA-compliant Zoom platform. Given the unprecedented circumstances associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, we conducted a qualitative descriptive study seeking descriptions and unique perspectives of Tennessee APRNs. Consistent with qualitative study design, we conducted an atheoretical study that featured interviews, purposeful sampling with maximum variation sampling, and content analysis.
resultsThe major themes were practice changes, impact of executive orders, and ongoing care barriers. The data revealed that patients, APRNs, and other health care providers were strained in new and profound ways during the pandemic. An underlying theme was Tennessee APRNs' frustration with continued regulatory and other practice barriers despite their state's health and health care disparities and under resourced health care system.
conclusionThese findings indicate the need to improve care access and health outcomes, advocate for full practice authority for APRNs, support telehealth expansion, address transportation deficiencies, and respond to the pandemic-precipitated mental health crisis.
