The effect of patıent advocacy on professıonal values in nurses: a correlatıonal study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundPatient advocacy, which is an integral part of patient care processes, envisages the defense of patients on issues such as patient rights and ethical values and is a concept directly related to the core values of the nursing profession. It is thought that nurses' patient advocacy behaviors are linked to their perceptions of professional values. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of nurses' patient advocacy behaviors on professional values.
methodsThe study is descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional. It was conducted with 527 nurses working in a city hospital in Istanbul between August and September 2023. Data were collected using the Information Form, Patient Advocacy Scale for Nurses, and Professional Values Scale. Descriptive tests, correlation analysis, and simple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the data. A STROBE checklist was used to report the study.
resultsNurses' Patient Advocacy Behaviors score was 163.84 (SD = 22.88) and the Professional Values score was 110.26 (SD = 16.29). The study determined that there was a significant, positive, and moderate relationship between the total scores of patient advocacy behaviors and the perception of nurses' professional values (r = 0.628). It was found that female nurses had more professional values than male nurses, nurse managers had more professional values than other nurses, and day shift nurses had more professional values than night shift nurses (p > 0.05). It was determined that the model created for the perception of professional values was significant and patient advocacy behaviors explained 51.4% of the variance of the perception of professional values.
conclusionIt was found that there was a moderate and positive relationship between patient advocacy behaviors and professional value perceptions of nurses. According to this result, it is recommended that more training on patient advocacy and professional values be included in the nursing education curriculum, the quality of the training should be improved, more studies should be conducted on these issues, and policymakers and hospital administrators should encourage nurses.
