Enablers and inhibitors of nursing and midwifery leadership in Pacific Island collectivist cultures.
Article in International nursing review, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 identify and explore inhibitors and enablers of nursing and midwifery leadership in the Pacific; to develop context-specific recommendations for policy and practice.
backgroundMany Pacific Island countries experience poor health outcomes and are vulnerable to climate-related health emergencies. Nursing and midwifery leadership is essential to improve regional health outcomes through influencing policy decisions, strengthening health systems and ensuring optimal health workforce utilisation. Understanding factors affecting health professional leadership facilitates action to remove obstacles and stimulate professional development for emerging leaders.
methodsThis qualitative study utilised a culturally sensitive co-designed approach and follows the COREQ criteria. The PARcific research methodology synthesised Participant Action Research with Pacific methodologies for culturally safe interviews with 136 stakeholders.
resultsMajor enablers of leadership identified were professional development, particularly skills in communication, project planning and data literacy; adequate workforce resources; effective workforce management; support from peers and managers; and personal confidence and courage. Participants identified main inhibitors: inadequate workforce resources; limited cultural sensitivity; and poor understanding of national and regional strategies. However, perspectives varied between different participant groups. International and regional policy makers did not recognise the critical importance of workforce resources and individual agency to fostering nursing and midwifery leadership. DISCUSSION: Joint action to enhance health professional leadership will promote better policymaking leading to improved health outcomes. IMPLICATIONS FOR HEALTH POLICY: Professional development should specifically include leadership training using culturally appropriate methods and mechanisms for management and peer support. Leadership development also requires adequate workforce resources to support training; regional standards for accreditation and professional development; improved formal and informal communication pathways; established regional policy directions; and a regional taskforce with health professionals trained to provide crisis leadership.
