Patients' perceptions of nurse caring behaviours and determinant factors at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialised Hospital in Debre Tabor city, Ethiopia: a cross-sectional survey.
Article in BMJ open, 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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate patients' perceptions of nurse caring behaviours and their determinant factors at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Specialised Hospital (DTCSH) in Debre Tabor city, Ethiopia.
designA facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 474 patients admitted to the inpatient ward.
settingThe study was conducted at DTCSH in Debre Tabor city.
participantsPatients were admitted to the inpatient ward at DTCSH.
interventionNo intervention was needed in this study. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: Binary logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with patients' perceptions of nurse caring behaviours. The OR with a 95% CI and a p value of <0.05 was used to determine statistical significance.
resultsOverall, 37.4% of patients had poor perceptions of nurse caring behaviours. Waiting day in the ward (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=2.3; 95% CI (1.6 to 6.4) and (3.4; 95% CI (2.1 to 10.7)), residence (AOR=2; 95% CI (1.3 to 4.4)), education level (AOR=1.2; 95% CI (1.12 to 3.42)), and spent time with nurses (AOR=1.7; 95% CI (1.38 to 5.31)) were identified as determinants of patients' perceptions of nurse caring behaviours.
conclusionThe proportions of patients' perceptions of nurse caring behaviours were poor. Waiting time in the wards, being an urban resident, educational level and time spent with nurses were identified as determinant factors of poor perceptions of patients on nurse caring behaviours. Therefore, hospital management, nursing directors and nursing staff should collaborate to foster better interactions between patients and nurses.
