The Impact of COVID-19 on Nursing Practice From Nurse Educators' Perspectives: A Phenomenology Study in Saudi Arabia.
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: COVID-19 created major disruptions worldwide, including significant effects on education. Nursing programs shifted rapidly to online learning and reduced clinical practice. These changes influenced student readiness, increased stress among educators and learners, and revealed the need for qualitative research to explore nurse educators' lived experiences during the pandemic. Understanding these experiences supports improved preparedness for future health crises. Objectives: To explore the impact of COVID-19 on nursing practice from nurse educators' perspectives in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted among 20 clinical instructors and faculty members from a private college and a public university in the southern region of Saudi Arabia. Data were collected using semistructured interviews. Transcripts were analyzed thematically following Braun and Clarke's (2021) six-step process. Results: Thematic analysis of interview data from 20 nurse educators revealed four principal themes with 16 subthemes that described the impact of COVID-19 on nursing practice from participants' lived experiences: (1) educational processes, (2) consequences on health, (3) precautions, and (4) future preparedness. Conclusion: COVID-19 had multifaceted effects on nursing education and practice in Saudi Arabia, revealing significant challenges in educational delivery, health and wellbeing, and institutional preparedness. The findings call for enhanced pandemic preparedness in nursing education systems, including the development of crisis management committees, investment in hybrid learning infrastructure, strengthened mental health support, and systematic approaches to maintain educational quality during future crises. These insights inform policy and practice for building resilient nursing education systems capable of responding effectively to future pandemics.
