1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundClinical practicum is a vital part of nursing education. A supportive clinical learning environment (CLE) is essential for students' learning, professional integration, and well-being, as well as for ensuring high-quality patient care throughout their careers. This study aimed to evaluate nursing and midwifery students' satisfaction with the CLE, and identify factors associated with their satisfaction in Morocco.

methodsThis cross-sectional study involved 1175 nursing and midwifery students from two Moroccan higher education institutes during the 2022 - 2023 academic year. Data was collected using the Arabic version of the Clinical Learning Environment, Supervision, and Nurse Teacher Scale (CLES + T). The mean scores of the overall CLES + T scale and its dimensions were calculated by averaging item ratings, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction with the CLE. Student characteristics were analyzed using the student's t-test or analysis of variance to assess satisfaction levels across groups. Linear regression was employed to identify factors linked to student satisfaction with the CLE.

resultsStudents showed a moderate level of satisfaction with their clinical experiences, with a mean score of 3.21 out of 5. They expressed great satisfaction with the leadership style of the ward manager but reported decreased satisfaction with the supervisory relationship and the clinical role of the nurse teacher. The least satisfied were midwifery, last year students, those achieving their practicum in hospital wards, those with shorter placements, those who had unsuccessful supervision, and those without consistent supervisor meetings.

conclusionsSignificant enhancements are required in Morocco's CLE. A shift from team supervision to individual supervision is recommended, accompanied by a robust preceptor training program to enhance clinical supervision. Moreover, nurse teachers should explore using new educational methods to substitute the lack of in-person interactions with students in clinical settings.
