Enhancing Practical Skills Learning in a Hospital Placement: Registered Nurse Mentors' Experiences of Student Supervision.
Article in SAGE open nursing. 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
Introduction: Practical skills supervision is essential in nursing placement education, allowing students to bridge theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience. Registered nurse mentors, with their professional experience and expertise, are key in this process. However, there is limited knowledge about registered nurse mentors' experiences of practical skills supervision in clinical placements. Objective: To explore registered nurse mentors' experiences of practical skills supervision. This study therefore aimed to explore factors influencing registered nurse mentors when supervising student nurses during their practical skills learning. Methods: An exploratory qualitative design was employed. The study was conducted at two hospitals affiliated with one bachelor nursing education program. The study employed a purposive sampling method, intentionally selecting registered nurse mentors based on their experience in relation to the study's objective. Data were collected during the Covid-19 pandemic through individual interviews including ten registered nurse mentors. The pandemic itself did not, however, influence the data. A thematic analysis approach was used for data analysis. Results: Two main categories and four sub-categories related to registered nurse mentors' experience with practical skills supervision were identified: (1) external factors at the clinical placement venue influencing registered nurse mentors' supervision and (2) factors inherent in the registered nurse mentor role influencing supervision. Conclusion: Educational institutions and clinical placements should work together to strengthen the supervision competencies of registered nurse mentors, as their collaboration is essential for optimizing students' learning experiences and fostering the development of practical skills during hospital placements. Results from the present study can inform the design of registered nurse mentoring programs.
