"They Care a Lot": A Qualitative Study of Nurses' Perspective on the Performance Appraisal Process in Israel.
Article in Journal of nursing management, 2025. 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
Intro: The performance appraisal (PA) process is carried out in organizations in general and in health organizations in particular due to its expected benefits, such as improving performance regarding patient care quality, documentation, identifying training needs, raising job satisfaction, and employee engagement. This paper explores the nurses' perspective on the PA process. Design/Methods: As part of course assignments in the Master's degree program in health systems management, 34 nurses in hospitals in Israel (students in the course) were asked to describe the PA process they underwent in their organization (their written narratives regarding the PA process). Thematic analysis was employed to examine their responses. Results: Four themes were found: characteristics of the feedback session (the PA interview), characteristics of the appraisee, characteristics of the appraiser, and characteristics of the PA process. Conclusion: Beyond elucidating the nurses' subjective experiences and priorities, the study brought to light several major issues, such as the fact that nurses highly value the PA process and do not consider it a mere formal chore. Also, the nurses emphasized the procedural justice of the process (i.e., they cared that the process has sufficient validity and reliability). Lastly, they crave recognition and acknowledgment. Implications: This research has theoretical and practical implications based on specifying the nurses' perspectives and priorities and taking them into consideration. The study's findings can assist healthcare organizations to understand this crucial practice better so that it can achieve its full potential.
