Infection Control Performance Related to Emerging Infectious Diseases Among Emergency Department Nurses: An Ecological Systems Theory-Based Cross-Sectional Study.

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
backgroundEmergency department (ED) nurses face elevated risks of infection during emerging infectious disease (EID) outbreaks. A multilevel understanding of factors influencing infection control performance is essential for improving safety in these settings. AIM(S): To examine associations among safety control, communication, perceived patient safety culture, and infection control performance among ED nurses and identify key influencing factors based on ecological systems theory.
methodsA cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted. Data were collected in October 2023 from 227 ED nurses at tertiary hospitals in South Korea who had experience caring for patients with confirmed or suspected EIDs. Structured, self-administered online questionnaires were used, and the responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression (SPSS Version 28).
resultsCommunication exhibited the strongest association with infection control performance (β = 0.53, p < 0.001), followed by safety control (β = 0.27, p < 0.001) and the availability of negative-pressure isolation rooms with anterooms (3-4) (β = 0.13, p = 0.016). These factors explained 74.0% of the variance in infection control performance (F = 46.83, p < 0.001).
conclusionInfection control performance among ED nurses was associated with individual, organizational, and environmental factors. Ecological systems theory provided an effective framework for identifying these multilevel influences. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nurse managers should implement comprehensive multilevel strategies addressing safety control at the microsystem, communication at the mesosystem, and infrastructure at the macrosystem to improve infection control performance. This study provides evidence to support targeted interventions in emergency settings.
