What Healthcare Workers Told Us about Working through the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Qualitative Analysis of Digital Audio Stories.
Article in Journal of nursing management, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Aims: The purpose of this article is to share the qualitative results of digital stories from 21 healthcare workers during the second wave of the pandemic and compare them with stories analyzed during the first wave. Background: Everyone has personal COVID-19 experiences and memories. Yet, the literature is lacking in how the stories from the healthcare team during the pandemic affected the individual healthcare worker at that time. Methods: A descriptive qualitative study analyzing digital stories was conducted during the second wave of the pandemic of a large Midwest healthcare system. Results: Twenty-one audio stories were analyzed. Four themes revealed were negative emotional response/impact, feelings/statements of optimism and hope, imposed or changing role expectations, and leadership/administration concerns. These themes aligned with the first wave analysis. Conclusions: Healthcare workers during COVID-19 experienced profound upheaval in their usual daily rhythm. This study revealed that there was a paradox of experiences consistently shared through their own stories including perceptions healthcare workers had of their leadership and the perceived system failure.
