Exploring the barriers to nursing students' speaking up for patient safety in Iran: a qualitative study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. 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
backgroundPatient safety is a significant concern in healthcare settings, and speaking up for patient safety is essential for promoting the quality of care and preventing harm. However, nurses, including nursing students, often face barriers that hinder their ability to report safety concerns. In this study, we explored the nursing students' experiences of barriers to speaking up for patient safety in clinical practice settings.
methodsThe study used an exploratory-descriptive qualitative design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 19 final-year nursing students at the Tabriz Nursing and Midwifery Faculty between April and June 2023. The data were analyzed via conventional content analysis until data saturation was achieved.
resultsThis study revealed the formation of three distinct categories: lack of communication and collaboration between healthcare professionals and students, inadequate preparation for speaking up for patients' safety, and theory-practice disconnection in nursing education. These categories are composed of eight sub-categories.
conclusionThe study found barriers that prevent nursing students from voicing concerns about patient safety in clinical settings. By understanding these obstacles, healthcare professionals can develop strategies to foster a safety culture and empower nursing students to advocate effectively for patient safety. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
