Exploring barriers and facilitators in nurses' reporting of patient and visitor violence: a cross-sectional study in China.
Article in BMJ open, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesThe current status of patient and visitor violence (PVV) reporting among nurses has proven insufficient. Therefore, we explored the barriers and facilitators in nurses' reporting of PVV.
designCross-sectional study.
settingGeneral and specialised hospitals in Jiangsu Province, China.
participantsA convenience sampling of 3363 nurses in Jiangsu Province was collected between January and July 2023.
main outcome measureThe reporting rate of PVV was assessed by the hospital workplace violence questionnaire-revised version; multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to determine factors associated with PVV reporting at the 5% significance level.
resultsOut of the 3363 surveyed nurses, 1813 (53.9%) reported experiencing PVV within the past year. Notably, only 16.1% of these nurses proactively reported PVV incidents after encountering them. Factors that facilitated reporting of PVV comprised being male (OR 1.832, 95% CI 1.083 to 3.101), working in specialised hospitals (OR 2.335, 95% CI 1.517 to 3.594), serving in emergency (OR 1.788, 95% CI 1.105 to 2.892), outpatient (OR 3.153, 95% CI 1.697 to 5.860), paediatrics (OR 3.808, 95% CI 1.976 to 7.338), possessing agreeableness personality (OR 2.112, 95% CI 1.140 to 3.911), prior hearing of PVV (OR 1.749, 95% CI 1.305 to 2.346) and having hospitals that actively encouraged reporting (OR 2.700, 95% CI 1.848 to 3.946) while safeguarding staff interests (OR 2.072, 95% CI 1.010 to 4.248) and emphasising nurses more (OR 2.109, 95% CI 1.123 to 3.958). Conversely, factors impeding nurses from reporting PVV included having night shifts 5-9 times per month (OR 0.481, 95% CI 0.282 to 0.819) and selectively reporting based on the severity of the violence (OR 0.550, 95% CI 0.344 to 0.878).
conclusionThe reporting rate of PVV among nurses was notably low. Nursing managers should consider implementing comprehensive measures that address both the facilitating and blocking factors identified in the study. This strategic approach aims to enhance the reporting rate of PVV incidents among nurses, fostering a safer and more supportive environment within healthcare settings.
