Interprofessional perspectives on the implementation of a pilot graduate nurse residency program in a Hungarian pediatric hospital.

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
Background: Ensuring nursing workforce supply and strengthening retention are critical healthcare challenges. Bethesda Children's Hospital introduced a pilot graduate nurse residency program (GNRP) to support newly graduated nurses through structured mentoring, rotation, and educational support. This study examines healthcare professionals' perceptions and acceptance of the program, rather than its effectiveness. Methods and sample: A cross-sectional, quantitative, anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted at Bethesda Children's Hospital. The survey assessed sociodemographic and professional characteristics, attitudes toward the GNRP, and opinions on key program elements. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, factor analysis, and regression analysis (IBM SPSS Statistics 27). Of 394 eligible employees, 189 participated (84 physicians, 44%; 105 nurses, 56%), representing occupational roles adequately ( Results: Perceived support was generally positive, with mean ratings of program elements ranging from 3 to 4 on a 4-point Likert scale and low standard deviations (0.5-0.8). Factor analysis identified two dimensions: overall program support and ward-level mentoring support. Physicians reported significantly higher overall support than nurses ( Conclusions: The GNRP was perceived favorably in this Hungarian pediatric hospital, although nurses expressed more reserved support than physicians. This pilot study provides initial empirical evidence on the acceptance and perceived feasibility of introducing a graduate nurse residency program in Hungary.
