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

aimInterprofessional socialisation can contribute to collaborative patient care. Although there is research regarding interprofessional socialisation of healthcare students and frontline staff, there is limited literature regarding healthcare educators in practice settings. Our aim was to examine interprofessional socialisation of healthcare educators in the practice setting following an interprofessional simulation facilitator training programme.

designExplanatory sequential mixed methods study.

methodsQuantitative provincial simulation programme evaluation data from 2022 and 2023 (n = 87) were analysed and used to inform qualitative interviews (n = 17). Qualitative and quantitative data were integrated following independent analysis.

resultsThere was a statistically significant increase in attitudes toward interprofessional socialisation following the simulation facilitator training programme. Qualitative findings revealed themes regarding interprofessional socialisation: (a) benefits gained through interprofessional socialisation, (b) interprofessional, uniprofessional or both, (c) facilitators to interprofessional socialisation, (d) barriers to interprofessional socialisation and (e) opportunities to strengthen interprofessional socialisation.

conclusionDespite positive views of interprofessional socialisation, socialisation behaviours may not be consistent in a variety of contexts. Interprofessional education may increase interprofessional socialisation among educators. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION: It is important to provide interprofessional socialisation opportunities for educators to promote more interprofessional education initiatives. IMPACT: The findings of this study provided insights into how to foster interprofessional socialisation in existing structures and how new pathways might be built to connect educators. REPORTING

methodThis study is reported in congruence with the Journal Article Reporting Standards-Mixed Methods, Quantitative, and Qualitative Standards provided on the Equator Network. PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Members of the provincial simulation team were consulted regarding study design and data collection to optimise participation.
