Refining core competencies of first-line nurse managers in the hospital context: A qualitative study.
Article in International journal of nursing sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Objectives: As the world moves towards a new normal, challenges continue to emerge while simultaneously inspiring us with new solutions. Strengthening the skills of first-line nurse managers (FLNMs) to fulfill a wide range of complex roles and responsibilities effectively necessitates refining core competency guidelines or standards. This study aimed to explore the perceived core competencies of Indonesian FLNMs within the context of the post-pandemic era. Methods: The study employed a qualitative descriptive design. Face-to-face interviews were conducted in a public hospital in Indonesia from January 2022 through August 2022. Seven head nurses with direct experience managing a unit during the COVID-19 pandemic were selected. The interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and validated by re-listening. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: Four main themes of the core competencies developed, including 1) managerial core competencies, 2) clinical core competencies, 3) technological core competencies, and 4) socio-emotional skills/personal traits consisting of the following: be brave, fast, patient, optimistic, consistent, and responsible. Conclusions: The findings demonstrate that the managerial and clinical core competencies of the FLNMs must be aligned, while technological core competencies are the mediating component of both. Personal traits are essential for FLNMs as they undergird the other three core competencies and the success of the FLNMs.
