Patient Safety Attitudes of Hospital Nurses: An Ethnographic Study in Four European Countries.

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
aimThe hospital work environment among cultures and the different social contexts among countries may influence nurses' attitudes towards patient safety. The aim of this study was to compare the attitudes of nurses working in public hospitals in four European countries towards patient safety.
designA qualitative study with an ethnographic approach was used to observe and interview nurses at work in four European Union countries: Croatia, Hungary, Sweden and Spain.
methodsCritical case sampling was used to select participants from two public hospitals in each country. Data were coded and thematically analysed using Atlas.ti software through iterative close reading and open code review.
resultsThis is the first multinational ethnographic study of nurses' attitudes towards patient safety. The analysis identified two main categories: structural influences on safety attitudes and safety attitudes in practice. The analysis from this study suggests that the structural influences of safety attitudes (resources) may not be directly correlated with the actual work pressures of nurses in public hospitals in different countries, but are subject to the level of maturity of the institutions. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
