Workplace violence as a predictor of missed nursing care in emergency departments: Findings from an analytical cross-sectional study.
Article in International journal of emergency medicine, 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
backgroundWorkplace violence is a common and significant issue in healthcare settings, particularly against emergency nurses, which compromises the quality of nursing care and can lead to the omission or delay of patient care tasks in the emergency department. Therefore, this study was conducted to examine the relationship between workplace violence and missed nursing care among emergency department nurses.
methodsA cross-sectional correlational study was conducted with 221 nurses from emergency departments of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, selected via stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a three-part questionnaire comprising demographic information, the MISSCARE questionnaire (Part A), and the Workplace Violence in the Health Sector questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation, and multiple regression were used to analyze the data.
resultsAmong 221 emergency nurses, 76.0% experienced verbal violence, 32.1% experienced physical violence, and 24.9% reported threatening behaviors during the previous six months. The most frequently missed nursing care activities were patient and family education (67.9%), monitoring patients' emotional status (57.0%), and assisting with patient mobility (52.9%). Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated significant positive associations between verbal violence (r = 0.52, p < 0.001), physical violence (r = 0.38, p < 0.001), and total workplace violence (r = 0.61, p < 0.001) and missed nursing care. In the multivariable regression model, total workplace violence (B = 0.536, standardized β = 0.580, p < 0.001), work experience (B = 0.284, standardized β = 0.197, p = 0.031), and working time (B = 0.327, standardized β = 0.229, p = 0.004) were significant positive predictors of missed nursing care. The model explained 48% of the variance in missed nursing care (R² = 0.48).
conclusionsWPV is significantly associated with increased missed nursing care in emergency departments, with verbal and physical violence contributing to higher care omissions. Interventions to reduce WPV, such as violence prevention protocols and support systems, are essential to improve nursing care quality and patient safety.
