Relationship between hospital ethical climate, critical thinking disposition, and nursing task performance.
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 10 papers.
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
backgroundAs ethical conflicts increase in the ever-changing healthcare field, nursing task performance, which is the overall ability of a nurse's professional knowledge, attitude, and skills, is important for patient health and safety, the provision of quality nursing care, and the appropriate resolution of nursing ethical problems. This study aimed to evaluate the mediating effect of critical thinking disposition on the relationship between hospital ethical climate and nursing task performance.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted. A total of a convenience sample of 200 clinical nurses from two Korean cities were recruited between November and December 2021. Direct questionnaires and online surveys were used to collect the data. The study variables were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlations, and a model tested using the Hayes PROCESS macro (Model 4) mediation model.
resultsThe mean scores for hospital ethical climate, critical thinking disposition, and nursing task performance were 91.86 ± 11.29, 97.74 ± 10.70, and 138.58 ± 14.95, respectively. Hospital ethical climate and critical thinking disposition were positively correlated with nursing task performance. In the mediation test model, hospital ethical climate was found to be positively and significantly associated with nursing task performance (ß = 0.46, p < .001) with the mediation of critical thinking disposition (ß = 0.70, p < .001).
conclusionsHospital ethical climate and critical thinking disposition may be important determinants of task performance among clinical nurses. Hospital administrators should make efforts to create a more positive ethical climate in hospitals and conduct education and campaigns on a positive hospital ethical climate for hospital staff to improve nurses' performance.
