Registered Nurses' Knowledge and Attitudes Towards Psychedelics in Healthcare: Statewide Survey Results.
Article in Journal of psychiatric and mental health nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionPsychedelic science is re-emerging to address mental health conditions, of which certain populations in the United States experience disparities. However, the perspectives of registered nurses (RNs), who have important roles within mental health care, towards psychedelics are largely unknown. AIM/QUESTION: To assess attitudes, knowledge, and beliefs of a large, state-wide sample of RNs towards psychedelics in healthcare settings.
methodRNs were randomly selected from a statewide directory to participate in a cross-sectional, multi-method online survey.
results793 RNs completed all items, with generally positive attitudes towards psychedelics but mixed opinions regarding the legal landscape, including decriminalisation. Few (12.7%) reported psychedelic content in their training, and most expressed low confidence in their knowledge. DISCUSSION: Findings generally align with previous research regarding provider attitudes towards psychedelics. Participants in this study had slightly more favourable attitudes and higher knowledge scores. LIMITATIONS: The study has potential selection bias, lacks a priori power analysis, and is limited to one state. IMPLICATIONS: As psychedelic science emerges as a potential treatment option for several mental health conditions, RNs must be prepared to support individuals and communities. RECOMMENDATIONS: Additional education in this emerging area of mental health nursing is warranted to ensure RN competence and confidence.
