Team dynamics, environmental safety, and emotional regulation in emergency department resuscitation: a qualitative study.
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
backgroundEffective cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) extends beyond technical proficiency and is influenced by team dynamics, environmental conditions, and clinicians' emotional responses. Although previous studies have examined barriers and facilitators of resuscitation, these factors have often been investigated separately, providing limited understanding of how they interact during real-time resuscitation practice in emergency departments. Exploring these interrelated domains is essential for improving team performance and patient safety in high-acuity emergency settings.
aimThis study aimed to explore emergency nurses' perspectives on how team dynamics, environmental conditions, and emotional experiences interact during resuscitation practice in emergency departments.
methodA qualitative descriptive study was conducted with emergency nurses working in adult emergency departments across university, state, training and research, and private hospitals. Data were collected through focus group interviews using purposive criterion sampling and analyzed using inductive content analysis.
resultsThirty-one emergency nurses participated in the study. Analysis identified three interrelated themes encompassing nine subthemes: team dynamics (leadership, staffing adequacy, role clarity), environmental safety (equipment availability, overcrowding, patient transfer, violence risk), and emotional regulation (traumatic exposure and crisis management). These themes illustrate how these domains interact to influence resuscitation practice in high-acuity settings.
conclusionResuscitation effectiveness reflects the interaction of team coordination, environmental safety, and emotional regulation within emergency settings. Findings highlight the need for team-based training, environmental organization, and emotional support strategies to strengthen resuscitation practice in emergency departments.
