Coping strategies among acute and critical care nurses: a scoping review.
Article in Canadian journal of anaesthesia = Journal canadien d'anesthesie, 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
purposeIn acute and critical care (ACC) settings, registered nurses (RNs) undertake multifaceted responsibilities, contributing to their susceptibility to workplace stressors. Despite the pivotal role of coping strategies in preserving RNs' well-being, challenges in cultivating effective mechanisms persist, underscoring the necessity for synthesized evidence to inform supportive interventions. Therefore, in this review, we aim to summarize the international literature on the coping strategies that RNs in ACC use to manage workplace stressors. SOURCES: This was a scoping review adhering to the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. Search databases included MEDLINE®, Embase®, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Web of Science®, and the Cochrane Library. Inclusion criteria included RNs (participants), coping strategies for work-related stressors (concepts), and global ACC settings (context). Documents prior to 2000 or those focused on various health care professionals/students, without differentiation of results, were excluded. Two reviewers independently screened, extracted, appraised, and analyzed the studies. PRINCIPAL
findingsOut of 7,985 documents located, 168 relevant documents from 2003 to 2023 were included in this review. Among those were studies using intervention-based, quantitative descriptive, qualitative, mixed method, and other methodologic approaches. Ultimately, 3 categories emerged: 1) recognition of stressors, 2) coping strategies, and 3) influences on RNs' coping strategies. Coping strategies were further categorized into problem-focused, emotion-focused, meaning-focused, and support-seeking strategies, revealing a range of techniques used by RNs.
conclusionsOur findings provided valuable insights into the stressors faced by RNs in acute care settings and the coping mechanisms they employ, underscoring the importance of organizational support and tailored interventions in mitigating workplace stress and promoting the well-being of health care professionals.
