1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

purposeThis study explored pediatric nurses' lived experiences during the first calendar year (2020) of the COVid-19 pandemic. DESIGN AND

methodsAn electronic survey used an exploratory-descriptive qualitative approach to gather data from 231 pediatric nurses working in a variety of settings across the United States. The survey consisted of seven open-ended questions to capture participants' experiences in the workplace. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify themes and associated subthemes.

resultsSeven themes emerged: Unique Aspects of COVid-19 in the Pediatric Population; Visitor Restrictions and Isolation Increased Stress; Navigating Changing Knowledge and Misinformation; Personal Protective Equipment Challenges; Living in Fear; Pride in the Profession; and Profession at Risk.

conclusionsPediatric nurses working in the initial year of the COVid-19 pandemic faced numerous challenges consistent with those shared by the profession at large in addition to some unique to their patient population. Of greatest concern is the dismay many participants conveyed in their perception of administrative and public support and in their flagging commitment to the profession. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: This study highlights the need for nurse self-care, cultural reform in healthcare settings to engage front line providers in decision making, and proactive strategies to recruit and retain professional nurses.
