"To Have One Extra Eye": Exploring Professionals' Experiences with Digital Supervision in a Nursing Home for Older People.
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: The global increase in the older population and challenges in recruiting healthcare professionals to nursing homes necessitate innovative approaches to ensuring safe healthcare delivery. Objective: To explore and describe healthcare professionalś experiences with a digital supervision system in a nursing home setting. Design: Qualitative research design. Methods: Data were collected from 28 professionals in one nursing home through seven focus group interviews and three individual interviews and were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. Results: The findings revealed one overarching theme: having an extra eye, which influenced work processes and patient safety. Two subthemes emerged: (1) experiences of a changed environment and stress, and (2) experiences of managing technical challenges. The digital supervision system altered professionals' workflows, impacting both professionals and resident environments while also introducing technical difficulties. Overall, having "one extra eye" through the phone in the pocket assisted professionals in monitoring their work, and observing changes among residents contributing to an improved professional and resident's environment and preventing falls. Conclusions: This study enhances the understanding of the opportunities and challenges associated with digital supervision in a nursing home. The healthcare team continued to conduct risk assessments as before, and nurses, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists prescribed physical supervision as usual. The digital supervision system allowed professionals more time to engage in other activities with residents during the day. Being able to notice changes in residents, along with personalized alarm settings for digital supervision, may help prevent falls while still protecting residents' independence, physical abilities, and privacy in their apartments.
