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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThere has been little research regarding nursing teamwork, despite its important role in multidisciplinary teamwork in healthcare settings and its significance in ensuring high-quality nursing care. This study aimed to determine the teamwork levels of Korean nurses and examine the relationship between nursing teamwork and patient-centered care while controlling for other individual and work-related factors.

methodsWe conducted a cross-sectional analysis of online survey data. The study population consisted of 992 Korean registered nurses employed in hospitals who had a minimum of six months of clinical experience. We performed latent profile analysis to identify latent teamwork subgroups based on response patterns. We performed analysis of variance and Chi-square tests to examine differences in individual and work-related characteristics according to teamwork group. We used multiple linear regression to investigate how nursing teamwork could affect patient-centered care after controlling for covariates.

resultsWe identified three nursing teamwork subgroups: low, mid, and high. Nurses with a higher level of teamwork in their units tended to work fewer hours with more adequate staffing (F = 5.88, p = 0.003 for working hours; F = 7.68, p < 0.001 for staffing adequacy). There was a significant positive association between nursing teamwork and patient-centered care after controlling for personal and work-related characteristics. Compared with low teamwork, mid and high teamwork increased patient-centered care scores by 0.32 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.23-0.40) and 0.57 (95% CI = 0.48-0.66), respectively.

conclusionOur findings indicate that enhancing nursing teamwork can serve as an effective strategy for promoting patient-centered care. Providing nurse education and training to equip nurses with the necessary knowledge and skills for effective teamwork is a crucial step. Additionally, fostering management commitment to create a supportive working environment, including adequate staffing, can facilitate improved nursing teamwork and, subsequently, patient-centered care.
