The Impact of Workflow Interruptions, Work Readiness, and Missed Nursing Care on Patient Safety Competency Among New Nurses: A Multicenter Longitudinal Study.
Article in Journal of nursing management, 2026. 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
Background: Patient safety competency is a critical attribute for new nurses. However, limited research has investigated the influencing factors and mechanisms affecting new nurses' safety competency, indicating the need for further exploration. Objective: This study aimed to examine the impact of workflow interruptions on new nurses' patient safety competency and to explore the mediating roles of work readiness and missed nursing care using a longitudinal design. Methods: From March to September 2024, a three-wave longitudinal study was conducted among 793 new nurses across 14 hospitals in China using a multicenter, stratified cluster sampling method. A total of 706 valid responses were included. Data collected covered demographic information, workflow interruptions, patient safety competency, work readiness, and missed nursing care. SPSS 27.0 was used for data analysis, and Amos 24.0 was applied to construct a structural equation model to assess the effects and mediation mechanisms. Results: Workflow interruptions were significantly negatively correlated with patient safety competency ( Conclusion: Work readiness and missed nursing care play a chain mediating role between workflow interruptions and new nurses' patient safety competency. Future interventions should aim to optimize workflow processes, minimize unnecessary interruptions, and enhance new nurses' training and psychological support to improve their ability to function in complex clinical environments, thereby ensuring care quality and patient safety.
