Status of nursing documentation types in Indonesia and their association with nurse characteristics: A cross-sectional survey.
Article in Belitung nursing journal, 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
Background: Nursing documentation is essential for legal accountability, continuity of care, and patient safety. While electronic nursing documentation offers advantages such as improved clarity, efficiency, and reduced workload, no nationwide study has examined which documentation types are most used in Indonesia or how nurse characteristics influence these choices. Addressing this gap is critical for guiding policy and supporting the transition to digital systems. Objective: This study aimed to determine the types of nursing documentation systems most used by nurses in Indonesia and to examine nurse characteristics associated with documentation type. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted in March 2023 among 894 nurses from 34 of Indonesia's 38 provinces. Data collected included sociodemographic characteristics, workplace settings, and documentation types (paper-based, electronic, or combination). Associations between nurse characteristics and documentation types were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test, with post-hoc Mann-Whitney U tests comparing the distribution of education levels between each pair of documentation-type groups. Results: Most participants were women (75.8%), held a diploma in nursing (53.5%), had over 12 years of work experience (35.3%), and worked in tertiary healthcare facilities (43.3%). Paper-based documentation was predominant (66.6%), followed by combination systems (24.7%) and electronic systems alone (8.7%). Paper-based use was slightly higher in Western Indonesia (66.8%) compared to Eastern Indonesia (64.8%). Education level was significantly associated with documentation type ( Conclusion: Paper-based nursing documentation remains dominant in Indonesia, with limited adoption of electronic systems. Higher educational attainment is associated with greater use of electronic documentation, highlighting the need for improved computer literacy training, infrastructure investment, and institutional and governmental support to facilitate the transition to digital documentation.
