The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on nursing care and nurses' work in a neonatal intensive care unit.
Review in Journal of pediatric nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeThis study was conducted to determine the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic process on nursing care and nurses' work in neonatal intensive care units. DESIGN AND
methodsThe study was conducted using a qualitative method. The data were collected by voice recording with a one-on-one in-depth interview technique, and a semi-structured question form was used in the interviews. The data obtained from voice recordings were evaluated using the qualitative content analysis method.
resultsThe main themes and subthemes of the study were as follows: (1) decrease in physical contact with newborns due to fear of transmitting Covid-19 (decrease in physical contact between neonatal nurses and newborns, decrease in physical contact between mothers and newborns, decrease in physical contact between fathers and newborns), (2) communication problems between healthcare professionals and parents (3) changes in the working conditions for neonatal nurses (increase in the frequency and duration of work intense working speed, exhaustion and decreased motivation due to use of protective equipment).
conclusionThe COVID-19 pandemic process led to a decrease in nurses' and parents' touching newborns, nurses' experiencing problems with parents due to measures taken, heavier working conditions and a decrease in motivation for nurses. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: This study will inform future research to be directed to nursing care and the work of nursing who work on the front line in the COVID-19 pandemic process.
