Nurses' knowledge and practice about neonatal pain management in public hospitals in West Oromia, Ethiopia, 2022: multi-centered cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundIn low-and middle-income countries inadequate neonatal pain management persists as a significant public health issue despite the availability of guidelines. Newborns often experience pain from routine medical and surgical procedures, with limited nurses' knowledge and suboptimal practices posing common obstacles to effective neonatal pain management in hospital settings. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate nurses' knowledge and practices related to neonatal pain management and the factors influencing them in public hospitals in West Oromia, Ethiopia, in 2022.
methodsA multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted among 203 nurses working in public hospitals in West Oromia from 8th May-6th June 2022. Data was gathered using structured, self-administered questionnaire and sampled through simple random sampling. The collected data were coded and entered into a computer using Epi-Data version 4.6 Statistical Software. They were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS; IBM Corporation) version 26. Binary logistic regression was used to identify significant independent variables at p < 0.05.
findingsIn this study, 127 (62.6%) exhibited adequate knowledge, while 33 (16.3%) nurses demonstrated good practice in neonatal pain management. Attending lectures or receiving training about neonatal pain management was found to be significantly associated with nurses' knowledge of neonatal pain management [AOR, 2.31, 95%CI; 1.29-4.27]. On the other, having adequate knowledge of neonatal pain management [AOR, 3.3, 95%CI; 1.14-9.32]; the presence of a pain management policy in place [AOR, 5.44, 95% CI; 1.92-15.37] and attending lectures on neonatal pain management [AOR, 2.55, 95% CI; 1.09-5.97] were found to be significantly associated to nurses' practices.
conclusionGiven the substandard level of nurses' practice in neonatal pain management. It is suggested to enhance the nurses' knowledge and practice about neonatal pain management by providing refreshment courses, training sessions, or facilitating nurses' opportunity access to reading resources about neonatal pain management.
