Nurse Interns' Experiences of Workplace Violence During Internship Programme Enrolment: A Convergent Mixed-Method Study.
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. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 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
Aim: The key aim of this study is to explore interns' experiences of workplace violence (WPV) during their enrolment in internship programmes and to determine the support provided by these programmes in relation to WPV. This study will also propose improvements that can be made to ensure that internship programmes provide sufficient support. Background: Nurses, patients and organisations are adversely impacted by WPV. Nonetheless, very few studies have examined experiences of WPV among nursing interns as they transition into their working roles and enrol in their year-long internship programmes. Design: This study employed a concurrent mixed-methods design (cross-sectional survey and semi-structured interview). Data from both strands were integrated after analysis and presented in a joint display. Methods: Altogether, 143 nurse interns (123 for the quantitative phase and 20 for the qualitative phase) from two Saudi universities enrolled in a 1-year internship took part in this study. Participants were administered quantitative surveys relating to the WPV/abuse assessment questionnaire, and interviews were held with participants who had experienced violence in the clinical workplace. Quantitative data were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software, while thematic analysis was performed on the qualitative data. Results: The findings indicated that most nurse interns (90%) experienced violence during their internships. Moreover, it was revealed that the programme failed to adequately support them throughout their placements. A conceptual model was developed to identify the factors preventing adequate support from being provided, which made nurses more vulnerable to WPV through disempowerment. Conclusion: University, hospital and programme administrators lack coordination in providing nurse interns with WPV support. Findings offer guidance for educators, policymakers and programme developers in restructuring internship support systems.
