A Systematic Review of Knowledge and Attitude of Nurses Towards Substance Use or Users.
Review in Addiction & health, 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
Background: Substance use disorders (SUDs) pose substantial challenges to society, creating widespread negative effects. Given their frequent and direct contact with patients, nurses hold a vital position in managing and addressing these disorders. This systematic review aimed to examine nurses' understanding of substance use and their perceptions of individuals affected by these conditions. Methods: This systematic review involved a comprehensive search of online databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, utilizing relevant keywords up to July 9, 2021. Only studies published in English and aligned with the review's objectives were considered. The quality of the included studies was evaluated using the AXIS tool. Findings: A total of 3273 nurses participated across 12 studies. The results indicated that nurses' knowledge about substance use was moderate, and their attitudes toward substance users were generally positive. Knowledge-related factors included variables such as age, gender, and work experience. Similarly, age, gender, ethnicity, education level, job position, work experience, participation in workshops on substance use, interest in patient care, hours spent on substance use courses during education, and continuing education hours related to substance use were identified as potential factors influencing attitudes. Conclusion: Therefore, holding workshops and improving guidelines for patient care with SUDs can enhance nurses' knowledge and attitudes and, ultimately, the quality of nursing care.
