Factors influencing public health nurses' ethical sensitivity during the pandemic.
Article in Nursing ethics, 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
backgroundEthical sensitivity is a prerequisite for ethical nursing practices. Efforts to improve nurses' ethical sensitivity are required to correctly recognise ethical conflicts and for sound decision-making. Because an emerging infectious disease response involves complex ethical issues, it is important to understand the factors that influence public health nurses' ethical sensitivity while caring for patients with COVID-19, an emerging infectious disease.
objectivesThis study aims to identify the relationship between nursing professionalism, the organisation's ethical climate, and the ethical sensitivity of nurses who care for emerging infectious disease patients in Korean public health centres. Further, it sought to identify factors influencing ethical sensitivity and the mediating effect of the organisational ethical climate to inform guidelines and improve ethical sensitivity. RESEARCH
designThis was a cross-sectional descriptive study. PARTICIPANTS AND RESEARCH CONTEXT: Data were collected from February 3 to 8 March 2021. Participants included 167 nurses caring for patients with COVID-19 in public health centres in South Korea. ETHICAL CONSIDERATION: This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the Chung-Ang University and followed the principles of research ethics.
resultsThe factors influencing ethical sensitivity were working at a COVID-19 disease direct response department, nursing professionalism, and organisation's ethical climate. The organisation's ethical climate showed a partial mediating effect on the influence of nursing professionalism on ethical sensitivity.
conclusionOur findings show that nurses' ethical sensitivity can be improved by refining the organisation's ethical climate and nursing professionalism.
