What Are the Predictors of Acute Care Nurses' Stroke Knowledge?: Empirical Research Quantitative.
Article in Nursing open, 2024. 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
aimsTo examine the predictability of categorical and quantitative study variables on acute stroke knowledge amongst study participants.
designNon-experimental, descriptive correlational.
methodsA convenience sample of registered nurses caring for adult, hospitalized patients recruited from the urban Southeast. A three-part survey was emailed to the nurses: demographics, stroke education and experience, and the Acute Stroke Management Questionnaire.
resultsIntensive Care Unit and Emergency Department nurses had the highest level of stroke knowledge. Nurses reporting three or more post-licensure education modalities had higher stroke knowledge scores than those reporting two or less. Practice setting, self-perception of stroke knowledge, self-identified knowledge of acute stroke management and three items related to code stroke were significantly correlated with stroke knowledge.
conclusionVarious methods of training and reinforcement of learning using varying teaching styles are effective in increasing nurses' stroke knowledge. Further stroke education is needed for nurses across the acute care setting. IMPLICATIONS: Future studies should explore lived experiences of nurses to gain understanding of nonquantifiable factors that nurses feel have strengthened their stroke knowledge. IMPACT: What Problem Did the Study Address? ○ Addressing the gap in the knowledge of predictors of nurse stroke knowledge. MAIN FINDINGS?: Practice setting, post-licensure stroke education, code stroke familiarity, confidence and understanding were all predictive of the overall stroke knowledge. WHOM WILL THE RESEARCH HAVE AN IMPACT?: Nurses, nurse educators, patients experiencing and at risk for stroke. REPORTING
methodThe STROBE checklist was used to strengthen the reporting of the results. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Nurses voluntarily participated in this study by completing the online questionnaire. WHAT DOES THIS PAPER CONTRIBUTE TO THE WIDER GLOBAL CLINICAL COMMUNITY?: Provides predictors of stroke knowledge for nurse leaders to have a better understanding of nurses' educational needs. Provides evidence of a quick, effective measure of nurses' stroke knowledge.
