Factors affecting emerging infectious disease-related infection control performance of nurses working in national and public hospitals: a cross-sectional survey.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
backgroundEmerging infectious diseases pose serious threats to global health, and nurses working in national and public hospitals play a pivotal role in infection prevention. However, their infection control performance can be influenced by various psychosocial and environmental factors.
methodsThis cross-sectional study surveyed 193 nurses from three national and three public hospitals in South Korea. Data were collected in May 2022 using validated self-report questionnaires measuring burnout, moral sensitivity, infection prevention environment, and infection control performance related to emerging infectious diseases. Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and hierarchical regression.
resultsThe mean infection control performance score was 4.37 (SD = 0.53) out of 5. Moral sensitivity (β = 0.16, p = .014) and infection prevention environment (β = 0.48, p < .001) significantly predicted infection control performance, explaining 37% of the variance. Burnout showed a negative correlation but was not a significant predictor in the regression model.
conclusionsInfection control performance among nurses in national and public hospitals is significantly affected by moral sensitivity and the institutional infection prevention environment. Interventions to enhance these factors are critical to improving infection control during emerging infectious disease outbreaks. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
