Hospital Safety Index in Thailand: Emergency Staff Perspectives on Preparedness and Trust.
Article in Nursing open, 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
aimTo explore emergency staff perspectives on the Hospital Safety Index (HSI), focusing on its utility, implementation challenges and implications for hospital preparedness in Thailand.
designQualitative descriptive study.
methodsIn-depth interviews were conducted with 19 emergency physicians, nurses and administrative personnel from tertiary, general and community hospitals across Thailand. Data were analysed thematically using an inductive approach.
resultsParticipants valued the HSI for promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and raising disaster risk awareness. However, significant barriers were identified, including technical complexity and ambiguous scoring criteria, which created equity gaps and disproportionately affected resource-limited community hospitals. These challenges undermined trust in the HSI's reliability and raised concerns regarding its epistemic validity and comparability across hospital settings.
conclusionThe HSI is a valuable framework for hospital disaster preparedness. Clearer guidance, structured assessor training and context-sensitive implementation may strengthen confidence in preparedness assessment and improve health system resilience. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: Nurses should strengthen HSI implementation through multidisciplinary assessment, preparedness planning, training and advocacy for resource-limited hospitals. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: This study did not involve patients or the general public.
