Perceptions of Community Nursing: A Comparative View Between Students and Professionals Through a Mixed-Methods Study.
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
Background: Community nursing is crucial for health equity yet often underexposed in training. Perceptions were compared between first-year students and practicing community nurses to inform workforce strategies. Objective: To compare the perceptions of nursing students and practicing professionals, moving beyond vocational preference to explore the meanings that shape professional identity in the community setting. Methods: Through non-probabilistic intentional sampling, 67 participants were included (48 first-year students and 19 practicing professionals). Data collection occurred in October 2024 for Phase I, while implementation dates for Phase II were November to December 2024. Data collection methods comprised a self-administered questionnaire (SCOPE scale) for Phase I, and Photovoice (photography and guided discussions) for Phase II. Data analysis techniques involved descriptive and inferential statistics for quantitative data, and an iterative participatory thematic analysis for qualitative data. Integration used joint displays and a rigorous "follow-the-thread" technique to trace meta-inferences. Results: Professionals scored significantly higher than students across all SCOPE domains ( Conclusions: A marked perception gap separates students from community nurses. Theoretically, the study illustrates how professional identity is shaped by role visibility. At a policy level, findings suggest that ensuring workforce sustainability requires not only curricular reform but also institutional strategies that elevate the symbolic status of primary care to attract talent.
