Factors Contributing to Time-Wasting Activities among Palestinian Nurses: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of nursing management, 2024. 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
Background: Nurses face significant challenges as they attempt to manage an increasing number of complex responsibilities within limited time frames. This article explores the factors contributing to time-wasting behaviors among nurses in Palestine and emphasizes the significance of effective time-management skills in nursing practice. Methods: Surveys were collected from a total of 714 nurses working in multiple healthcare facilities located in the north of the West Bank, Palestine. An 11-item time-wasting scale was developed and validated. Factors influencing time-wasting behaviors among nurses were then investigated using multiple linear regression in SPSS version 25. Results: Attending time management courses significantly reduced time-wasting behaviors. Additionally, factors such as age, gender, and educational level did not appear to correlate with time-wasting behaviors. However, workplace, type of organization, and attendance of time management courses did impact nurses' time management skills. Conclusion: This article underscores the importance of time management skills in nursing practice. Inefficient time management can have detrimental effects on patient care and nursing outcomes. To mitigate these challenges, healthcare institutions and nursing education programs should prioritize time management training for nurses.
