Article in Journal of nursing management, 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
backgroundA near miss is an error or event that is detected or corrected before reaching or harming the patient. Near-miss events among nursing interns may compromise patient safety and reflect challenges in clinical practice. Self-efficacy and psychological safety are important psychological factors that may influence problem-solving behavioral intentions regarding near misses. However, evidence on the relationship between these variables among nursing interns remains limited. This study aimed to explore the relationship between self-efficacy and problem-solving behavioral intentions regarding near misses and to examine the mediating role of psychological safety.
methodsThis cross-sectional survey was conducted among 556 nursing interns at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University from January 3, 2026, to March 3, 2026, yielding 532 valid responses. Validated scales were used to assess self-efficacy, problem-solving behavioral intentions regarding near misses, and psychological safety. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 24.0.
resultsThe results indicated that nursing interns reported a moderate level of self-efficacy, while their total scores for problem-solving behavioral intentions regarding near misses and for psychological safety were both at a high level. Self-efficacy was positively correlated with both problem-solving behavioral intentions regarding near misses (r = 0.253, p < 0.001) and psychological safety (r = 0.301, p < 0.001), while psychological safety was positively correlated with problem-solving behavioral intentions regarding near misses (r = 0.217, p < 0.001). Mediation analysis indicated that psychological safety statistically accounted for 20.5% of the total association between self-efficacy and problem-solving behavioral intentions regarding near misses.
conclusionsSelf-efficacy was positively associated with nursing interns' problem-solving behavioral intentions regarding near misses, and psychological safety statistically accounted for part of this association. Scenario-based training, nonpunitive feedback, accessible reporting channels, and timely feedback on corrective actions may support interns in identifying, reporting, and reviewing near misses.
