Professional Self-Efficacy and Readiness to Encounter Individuals Exposed to Partner Abuse in Nurses: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of advanced nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimThis study was conducted to examine the relationship between professional self-efficacy and readiness to encounter individuals who were exposed to partner abuse in nurses and the factors affecting them.
designA cross-sectional, descriptive quantitative design was employed.
methodsThis study was conducted with 325 nurses working in a public hospital between July and October 2023. Data were collected using the Nursing Profession Self-Efficacy Scale and the Readiness to Encounter Partner Abuse Patients Scale. Descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression model were used in the analysis of thedata.
resultsIt was determined that nurses' self-efficacy, knowledge and emotional readiness levels for encountering individuals who were subjected to partner abuse were low, their motivation ranged from medium to high, and that there was a positive and high correlation between self-efficacy and readiness levels. Nurses' experience of encountering individuals subjected to partner abuse, education on encountering partner abuse, and professional self-efficacy explained 46.2% of the total variance in nurses' readiness levels.
conclusionsThe results revealed that although nurses were moderately to highly motivated, they generally exhibited low self-efficacy, knowledge and emotional preparedness when encountering individuals who had experienced partner abuse. Professional self-efficacy, education and previous experience contributed significantly to nurses' preparedness. These results emphasise the need for targeted education and support to increase nurses' preparedness to effectively address partner abuse. IMPLICATIONS: Enhancing the professional competency of nurses and obtaining training on partner abuse is essential for delivering good care and intervention to individuals being abused. The results of this study may shed light on policy reforms by strengthening nursing education curricula, in-service training programmes, and institutional protocols and standards for nurses' partner abuse assessment and management. REPORTING
methodThe results of this study were reported in accordance with STROBE guidelines. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution was received.
