Patient-Centred Communication as a Mediator of Nurses' Safety-Care Activities.
Article in Scandinavian journal of caring sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundEnhancing patient safety involves identifying key factors and applying preventive strategies. While clinical competency, professional values and safety culture are recognised as important, the mediating role of patient-centred communication in promoting safety-care activities remains underexplored.
aimThis study aimed to identify factors influencing safety-care activities among hospital nurses, with patient-centred communication competency as a mediator.
methodsA correlational survey design was employed, involving 308 nurses with a minimum of 6 months of clinical experience at university hospitals. Data were collected between March and December 2022 and analysed using structural equation modelling with IBM SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 26.0.
resultsMost participants were female (93.8%) and single (84.4%), with an average of 5 years of clinical experience. Clinical competency, professional values, awareness of safety culture and patient-centred communication competency collectively explained 36% of the variance in safety-care activities. Patient-centred communication competency demonstrated a significant indirect effect (β = 0.04, 95% CI [0.01, 0.07]), supporting its mediating role.
conclusionsClinical competency, awareness of safety culture and patient-centred communication competency were significant predictors of safety-care activities. The mediating role of communication highlights its importance in translating values into safety-care practice. Future research should examine broader organisational and cultural influences to strengthen the model's applicability across diverse healthcare settings.
