Experiences on Role Transition Among Nurse Prescribers.
Article in International nursing review, 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
aimThe aim was to describe the experiences of nurse prescribers on role transition during nurse prescriber education and working in a new role.
backgroundNurse prescribing has increased globally, bringing a new importance for nursing. Transition into a new nursing role can be motivating, satisfying, and empowering. However, it can also be stressful and complex. It is important to know how the role transition from a nurse to a nurse prescriber could already be facilitated during studies and the first working years in a new role. As little work has been conducted on this topic, there is a gap in this research area.
methodsThis phenomenological study was implemented with 14 Finnish nurse prescribers using semi-structured individual interviews. The data were analyzed with inductive content analysis.
findingsAltogether, this study identified four main categories for experiences on role transition. These main categories are in role transition during nurse prescribing education (1) learning decision-making; (2) meaningfulness of studies during education and at the beginning of nurse prescriber role at work; (3) development of expertise; and (4) significant change in work. DISCUSSION: The meaningfulness of the learning and learning decision-making are important in role transition during nurse prescribing education. There is a significant development of expertise and change in work procedures during the transition from a nurse to a nurse prescriber. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Nurse prescriber education has a key role in the transition experience from registered nurse to nurse prescriber. It is also possible that healthcare units do not utilize nurse prescribers effectively.
