Acceptance and Preparedness to be COVID Warriors: Self Narratives of Frontline Nurses of a Tertiary Care Center.
Article in Florence Nightingale journal of nursing, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimAim of this study is to gain insight into how frontline nurses accepted and prepared themselves before COVID posting.
methodsIt is a qualitative and phenomenological study design. Eighteen in-depth interviews were conducted with the nurses who provided care to confirmed COVID 19 patients in a tertiary hospital of North India from September to November 2020. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method. The consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) were followed in this study.
resultsIn this study, the reported experiences were divided into five main themes: (I) Getting ready to be at the frontlines (II) Family and peer support (III) I Can Handle it! (IV) I have to be Strong! (V) Training is key to confidence. The risk of infection, fear of being a source of infection to the family, the worry of staying away from family, uncertainty, and nervousness related to personal protective equipment were the most common thoughts that disturbed the participants. However, taking a good diet, practicing yoga and meditation, having a sense of serving their country and community, faith in God, family support, faith in the organization, and good training helped the participants to prepare for the COVID posting.
conclusionDespite facing various challenges, the nurses showed great strength and resilience. To promote a resilient health system, supportive supervision and adequate administrative support, training and workshops, peer group support, counseling cells, and spiritual support may be considered.
