A conceptual analysis of facilitation to improve clinical outcomes in critical care units.
Review in International journal of nursing sciences, 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
Objectives: Effective facilitation is crucial to improve critical care outcomes in life-threatening conditions through improved teamwork, caring, decision-making, and problem-solving. The meaning of facilitation remains unprecise in a critical care context despite its frequent usage in nursing education and clinical practice. This study aimed to report a thorough concept analysis to clarify the meaning of facilitation in the critical care context by formulating attributes, antecedents, and consequences and providing model cases related to facilitation. Methods: This analysis was performed by searching online sources published from 1999 to 2023. EBSCOhost, CINAHL, PubMed, and Google Scholar databases were searched using online search engines. The analysis also included the manual search of books, thesaurus and dictionaries that showed relevance to facilitation. Walker and Avant's eight-step approach was applied to explore and analyze the meaning of facilitation in critical care units. Results: A total of 68 articles were included in the analysis of this study. Eleven attributes, six antecedents, and seven consequences related to facilitation were formulated. The attributes included dynamic, interactive processes, creating a positive environment, mobilizing resources, assistance, student-centered, shared goals, collaboration, engagement, participation, and feedback. Antecedents were facilitator qualities, motivation, a positive learning environment, student-facilitator relationship, time availability, and specified learning outcomes. The consequences of facilitation were identified as follows: change, professional development, competency, quality development, increased job satisfaction, staff retention, and self-confidence. Conclusions: The findings from the analysis indicated that effective facilitation results in nurses and critical care staff developing competency, caring, critical thinking, and independence. Therefore, clinical outcomes in critical care environments are improved through teamwork, decision-making, and problem-solving in life-threatening situations.
