Barriers and Facilitators Influencing Nurses in Genetic Services Provision: A Systematic Review.
Review in Nigerian medical journal : journal of the Nigeria Medical Association. 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
Background: Nurses play a crucial role in the provision of genetic services, yet their capacity to deliver these services is often constrained by various barriers. Understanding these barriers and identifying facilitators is essential for optimizing genetic services delivery in nursing practice. This systematic review aimed to explore the barriers and facilitators influencing nurses' roles in providing genetic services, including genetic counseling, testing, and patient management. Methodology: A comprehensive search across multiple databases yielded 1,275 articles. After de-duplication and screening, 12 studies published between 2001 and 2024 were included. These studies, conducted in nine countries, utilized qualitative and quantitative approaches. Data was synthesized narratively, focusing on key themes related to barriers and facilitators. Results: Barriers were identified across six domains: gaps in educational preparedness, insufficient knowledge, administrative hurdles, negative attitudes, logistical difficulties, and environmental limitations. Common challenges included knowledge deficits, role ambiguity, time constraints, and cultural variations. Facilitators were grouped into five domains: educational support, role expansion, integration across specialties, positive attitudes, and policy/institutional support. Key enablers included genomic education programs, multidisciplinary teamwork, and structured institutional policies. Conclusion: Barriers and facilitators to nurses' provision of genetic services are multifaceted, spanning individual, institutional, and systemic factors. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions, such as enhancing genomic education and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, can significantly improve genetic services delivery in nursing practice.
