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

aimMissed nursing care (MNC) is a global and important phenomenon in nursing and is universally used as an indicator of the quality of nursing care. However, no precise definition is available for this concept's dimensions and clinical features during an emerging infectious disease. This study aims to furnish a comprehensive evidence-based definition of MNC in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

designA concept analysis paper.

methodsThis study was conducted using an integrative approach to the concept analysis of Walker and Avant. In the literature review stage, the databases CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed as well as the Google Scholar search engine were searched from December 2019 to April 2024. Keywords of the study were selected according to the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and previous research. Textual analysis of the selected articles was conducted using an inductive and deductive approach. Throughout the study, the authors followed the SRQR checklist.

resultsThe results indicated the concept of 'missed nursing care' during an emerging and infectious disease such as COVID-19 refers to a set of nursing activities and procedures that require interaction and close contact with patients and must be included in the care and treatment plan for patients (supportive, psychological-social care and basic/bedside care). However, these activities have been presented as suboptimal, prioritised and interrupted. These attributes are caused by the complexity of caring for emerging diseases, aggravating lack of human and material resources, communication/teamwork and individual factors.

conclusionThe concept of MNC during an emerging infectious disease is an altered cognitive process that can be defined as disrupted nursing care (DNC) in the nurse role adjustment, time management and care environment for various reasons. COVID-19 has been the most significant disruptor in healthcare, but it will not be the last. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND PATIENT CARE: This conceptual analysis can help sensitise care managers to the holistic view and adaptation of policies and strategies in crises, develop care models and theories, and help researchers generate specific tools or clinical scales for accreditation in emerging infectious diseases. CONSENT: No patient or public contribution.
