Quality of nursing documentation and clinical reasoning competence: The mediating role of interprofessional collaboration.
Article in SAGE open medicine, 2026. 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: High quality nursing documentation and clinical reasoning competence are essential for safe and effective nursing practice, and interprofessional collaboration represents a key care process. This study examined the relationships among nurses' quality of nursing documentation, interprofessional collaboration, and clinical reasoning competence. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive, correlational, quantitative study was conducted among nurses working in multiple hospitals in Hue, Vietnam. Participants were recruited using convenience sampling. Data were collected from March to July 2025 using online and paper-based questionnaires. The Nurses Clinical Reasoning Scale, Interprofessional Collaboration Scale, and the Student Survey on Writing Nursing Care Plans were used. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and mediation analyses were performed. Results: A total of 239 nurses were included in the final analysis. Correlation analysis showed that the quality of nursing documentation was positively associated with interprofessional collaboration (p < 0.001) and clinical reasoning competence (p < 0.001), and interprofessional collaboration was positively correlated with clinical reasoning competence (p < 0.001). Interprofessional collaboration significantly mediated the relationship between quality of nursing documentation and clinical reasoning competence (indirect effect β = 0.02, 95% CI [0.01, 0.04]), accounting for 11.5% of the total effect. Conclusion: Interprofessional collaboration partially mediated the relationship between quality of nursing documentation and clinical reasoning competence, indicating that high-quality documentation enhances clinical reasoning both directly and indirectly through improved collaborative practice. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening documentation practices and interprofessional collaboration to support nurses' clinical reasoning competence.
