Gender awareness is also nurses' business: Measuring sensitivity and role ideology towards patients.
Article in Journal of nursing management, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
aimThis study aims to validate the Nijmegen Gender Awareness in Medicine Scale, which assesses gender sensitivity and gender-role ideology towards patients in the Spanish language for use among physicians and nurses.
backgroundWomen are more likely to suffer pain, delays and health consequences related to low therapeutic effort. Health professionals' gender awareness may minimize such bias; however, the only instrument to assess such awareness is limited to physicians and lacks a Spanish version.
methodsAfter using the back-translation method, a sample of 167 Spanish nurses and nursing students completed the instrument. In order to obtain additional validity evidence, 98 health professionals filled in gender sensitivity and gender-role ideology towards patients' subscales and the short versions of the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory.
resultsGender-role ideology towards patients correlated strongly with sexist attitudes, demonstrating convergent validity, and Cronbach's alpha coefficients showed an adequate internal consistency.
conclusionsNijmegen Gender Awareness in Medicine Scale perfectly applies to nurse population, and this adaptation also broadens its use for Spanish professionals. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nurse managers and educators can use this applicable tool to treat low gender awareness levels as a modifiable risk factor and promote a gender-sensitive caring culture.
