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

backgroundViolence management training is necessary for nursing students who are in the most contact with the patient and his/her companion. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of implementing the workplace violence management training program (WVMTP) on knowledge, attitude, and adaptation to patient violence among undergraduate nursing students.

methodsThis semi-experimental study was conducted on 42 nursing students. Sampling was performed using the convenience sampling method and the samples were randomly assigned to the intervention (IG) and control groups (CG). The data collection tools included the Knowledge and Attitude toward Patient Violence Questionnaire, and the Self-Confidence in Adaptation to Patient Violence Questionnaire. The IG received training in the form of question/answer, lecture, and role-play, using slides and showing movies for 6 hours.

resultsNo statistically significant difference was found in the mean knowledge score of students in the IG and CG two weeks after the intervention. The Wilcoxon test results indicated no statistically significant difference in comparing the mean self-confidence score in adaptation to patient violence in the IG and CG two weeks after the intervention, but a statistically significant difference was observed in the IG before and after the training (p = 0.40).

conclusionAlthough the WVMTP for nursing students was able to increase student knowledge, attitude, and self-confidence in the short term, considering the instability of this learning within the next two weeks and the importance of violence management skills, this skill is recommended to be included in the curriculum and educational credits with continuous training.
