Factors Influencing Nursing Interns' Engagement in Fall Prevention Activities in Saudi Arabia.
Article in Nursing open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 assess the knowledge, attitudes and engagement of nursing interns regarding fall prevention activities during their internship within hospital settings.
designThis study used a cross-sectional design.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational study. A convenience sample of 187 nursing interns was recruited from three hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A questionnaire was administered to the participants to collect data on their demographics, knowledge, attitudes and engagement in fall prevention. The collected data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
resultsThe participants exhibited insufficient knowledge, relatively negative attitudes and acceptable fall prevention engagement. There was a low-to-moderate positive association only between attitude and fall prevention engagement. Moreover, hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that attitude was the only predictor for fall prevention engagement.
conclusionFall prevention is an important subject that needs more attention from nursing programmes in universities and preceptorship programmes in hospitals to enhance nursing interns' attitudes, knowledge and practices in this regard. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: The findings of this research could be beneficial for clinical coordinators and faculty members to enhance nursing interns' engagement in preventing falls among at-risk patients. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Participants were not involved in the design, conduct, reporting or dissemination of this research.
