Gender-related differences in the scope of nursing practice: evidence from a cross-sectional study in geriatric healthcare settings.
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 16 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
aimTo investigate potential gender-related differences in the utilization of scope of practice (range of duties and responsibilities) across acute, community and long-term geriatric-care settings, by considering activities authorized for all registered nurses and those restricted to advanced post-basic certification graduates.
designA cross-sectional approach, using a convenience sample.
methodsA total of 286 registered nurses [207 females (72.4%) and 79 males (27.6%)] with advanced geriatric training, completed a self-administered questionnaire addressing socio-demographic and occupational characteristics, utilization of the scope of practice, and professional satisfaction. Chi square, two-sample t-test, and a multiple regression model were used to analyze the data.
resultsMale nurses reported implementation of a statistically significantly broader scope of practice than female nurses, outperforming them in 8 out of 16 activities for all registered nurses and in 5 out of 9 activities for advanced nurses with post-basic certification.
conclusionOur findings suggest that gender-related differences in the utilization of nursing scope of practice exist, with implications for professional satisfaction and potentially for patient care outcomes. Our results highlight the need to address these differences at multiple levels, ranging from healthcare organizations, and educational institutions, to policy-making bodies. Future research should use longitudinal studies with diverse samples from various settings and include factors like organizational culture, time since certification, and patient demographics in order to better understand any influences on nursing practice.
