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

backgroundNursing students encounter workplace violence during clinical practice, which poses challenges to their resilience and competence in managing such situations. Emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in how students navigate these challenges, potentially mediating the relationship between resilience and workplace violence competence.

aimThe primary aim of this study was to evaluate the mediating role of emotional intelligence in the relationship between resilience and the competence to manage workplace violence among nursing students.

methodsA cross-sectional descriptive design was employed, with 500 undergraduate nursing students from Sohag University participating in the study. Data were collected using three validated scales: the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24) to assess emotional intelligence, the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10) to measure resilience, and the Management of Workplace Violence Competence Scale (MWVCS) to evaluate competence in managing workplace violence. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation and mediation analysis via JASP software.

resultsSignificant positive correlations were found between emotional intelligence and resilience (r = 0.42, p < 0.001), emotional intelligence and workplace violence competence (r = 0.38, p < 0.001), and resilience and workplace violence competence (r = 0.44, p < 0.001). Mediation analysis revealed that emotional intelligence partially mediated the relationship between resilience and workplace violence competence (indirect effect = 0.12, 95% CI [0.08, 0.17]).

conclusionThe findings highlight the importance of emotional intelligence and resilience in enhancing nursing students' competence in managing workplace violence. Developing emotional intelligence may be a valuable strategy for improving students' resilience and readiness to handle challenging clinical environments. Educational programs should consider integrating emotional intelligence training to better equip nursing students for clinical practice. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
