Role Transition of Recent Nurse Graduates Into Practice in Long-Term Care and Home and Community Care Sectors: A Scoping Review.
Article in Journal of clinical nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

designScoping Review.
methodsJoanna Briggs Institute framework and Arksey & O'Malley's principles for scoping reviews were used. Covidence facilitated evidence selection. Two independent reviewers screened and extracted data, with a third resolving disputes. NVivo 14.0 supported data analysis, and thematic analysis highlighted transition experiences. DATA SOURCES: Data retrieved from Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, Google Scholar and Google for published and grey literature; searched February 2026.
resultsFrom 27 articles, analysis revealed four themes: (1) A Different World: Contextual Challenges in Long-Term Care and Home and Community Care Sectors, (2) Navigating as a New Graduate Nurse: Knowledge, Skills, and Behaviours, (3) Support and Guidance, (4) Emergence of Professional Self as a Nurse in Long-Term Care and Home and Community Care.
conclusionThis review emphasized the need for addressing clinical and emotional aspects of transition, including proper orientation, tailored nurse residency programs, and workload management for facilitating integration and supporting development of nurses' professional identity. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: This review may guide healthcare leaders in refining support systems for new nurses, ultimately elevating patient care standards in these sectors. IMPACT: Addressing challenges new nurses face when assimilating into long-term care and home and community care environments may enhance nurse confidence, job satisfaction, recruitment, and retention.
