1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 examines the effect of nurses' holistic nursing competency levels and humanistic behaviour skills on their professional pride levels.

designThe study was designed as a cross-sectional study.

methodsThe sample consisted of 224 nurses working in a city hospital. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form, the Holistic Nursing Competence Scale, the Humanistic Behaviour Skill Scale in Nursing Practices and the Pride in Nursing Profession Scale. Independent groups t-test, ANOVA, and regression analyses were applied to analyse the data.

resultsThe mean ± standard deviation of the total score of the nurses participating in the study from the Holistic Nursing Competence Scale was 170.48 ± 42.41, the mean ± standard deviation of the total score from the Humanistic Behaviour in Nursing Practice Scale was 121.35 ± 20.81, and the mean ± standard deviation of the total score from the Pride in Nursing Profession Scale was 79.65 ± 22.80. A statistically significant positive relationship was found between the Holistic Nursing Competence Scale and the Humanistic Behaviour in Nursing Practice Scale. The results showed a statistically significant relationship between the Holistic Nursing Competence Scale, the Humanistic Behaviour in Nursing Practice Scale and the Pride in Nursing Profession Scale. In addition, it was determined that nurses' holistic and humanistic behaviour skills explained 12.2% of the change in professional pride. The holistic nursing competencies and professional pride levels of nurses who willingly chose the nursing profession and loved their profession were found to be statistically significantly higher (p < 0.05).

conclusionNurses demonstrated above-average holistic and humanistic competencies, yet their professional pride remained below average. This indicates that professional pride may be shaped not only by individual skills but also by external factors such as working conditions and societal perceptions of the profession. IMPLICATION FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: These findings suggest that to increase professional pride among nurses, not only is the development of individual competencies insufficient, but also the improvement of workplace environments and greater societal appreciation of the profession are necessary. Without addressing systemic and societal challenges, the development of holistic and humanistic nursing competences may have a limited impact on professional satisfaction. On the other hand, nurses' provision of care services in line with holistic and humanistic principles positively affects their professional satisfaction and the quality of patient care, patient satisfaction, safety and general health outcomes.
