Recommendations to facilitate self-care practices among professional nurses.
Article in Curationis, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundNursing is regarded as a caring profession, with a core focus on providing care to others to improve or maintain their health. As a result, ongoing research is conducted to provide recommendations for improved clinical outcomes, which professional nurses would usually execute. However, despite the continuous changes and challenges within the nursing profession, little effort has been made to unveil explicit guidance on how professional nurses should engage in self-care practices to promote and sustain their well-being.
objectivesThis study aimed to describe recommendations to facilitate professional nurses' empowerment in practising self-care as a lifestyle.
methodA qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual research design was employed to obtain rich data from 10 purposively sampled professional nurses. Unstructured individual interviews were conducted and transcribed verbatim. Data were analysed using Colaizzi's method.
resultsThe main study uncovered three themes, but this study explored only one: professional nurses' urgent need to break free from the vicious, depriving cycle of not practising self-care.
conclusionSustainable recommendations are needed to empower professional nurses in self-care practices.Contribution: This study provides clear and cost-effective recommendations on what professional nurses can do to promote self-care practices.
