Attitudes of Generation Y Nurses Toward Evidence-Based Nursing Practice: A Mixed-Methods Study.
Article in Nursing open, 2025. 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
aimTo identify the attitudes of Generation Y nurses toward evidence-based nursing practice in university and municipality level hospitals in Lithuania.
designA mixed-methods study with a convergent parallel design was used, allowing simultaneous collection and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data.
methodsThe Evidence-Based Practice Attitude Scale-50 (EBPAS-50) was employed in the quantitative phase, while focus group interviews were conducted in the qualitative phase. Of the 1955 surveys distributed, 1388 were fully completed (71% response rate), with Generation Y nurses (born 1980-2000) selected for further analysis (n = 368; 27.2%). Out of 14 invited nurses, eight participated in two focus group interviews.
resultsGeneration Y nurses exhibited a positive attitude toward evidence-based practice, valuing its relevance to patient needs and feedback. However, time constraints and administrative challenges were identified as key barriers. Qualitative analysis further revealed resources and organisational limitations in applying evidence-based practice.
conclusionGeneration Y nurses view evidence-based practice positively and recognise its role in enhancing patient care. However, barriers like time constraints, administrative challenges, and limited resources hinder implementation. Critical thinking, teamwork, and organisational support are essential for successfully integrating evidence-based practice into clinical practice. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Generation Y nurses' attitudes toward evidence-based practice, along with their perceptions of barriers and facilitators, can guide administration in developing strategies to enhance evidence-based practice integration. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Participants contributed to this study by agreeing to complete a questionnaire and answer questions during focus group interviews.
