Dilemmas and strategies in the working experience of resident training nurses rotated in the intensive care unit: a qualitative study.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
backgroundIn high-pressure environments such as intensive care units (ICUs), newly graduated nurses often experience heightened transition shock during role adaptation, which increases the risk of burnout and turnover. Consequently, facilitating a smooth transition for nurses during their ICU rotations is a persistent challenge for nursing managers and educators.
aimThe purpose is to explore the dilemmas and strategies perceived by resident training nurses during their ICU rotation work.
methodsA qualitative study was conducted. Nineteen resident training nurses who rotated in the ICU were recruited. Face-to-face interviews, semi-structured interviews, and content analysis were utilized to analyze the data.
resultsFour key themes were identified: (1) Experiencing Overwhelming Work Tasks; (2) Experiencing a Fast-Paced Working Pattern; (3) Experiencing a Strained Working Atmosphere; and (4) Experiencing a Generalized Teaching Program. The subthemes of each theme reflect the unique nature of ICU work as perceived by the rotating nurses, corresponding to their perceptions of specific work dilemmas and the strategies they have derived.
conclusionsThe resident training nurses experienced a complex journey of disorientation and adaptation during their ICU rotation. This can be attributed to overwhelming work tasks, fast-paced work patterns, strained work atmospheres, and generalized teaching programs. Nursing managers and educators need to optimize the teaching system for resident training nurses rotated in the ICU and enhance the humanistic care mechanisms for nurses at the organizational level.
