1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundIn Canada, primary care is usually the front door to health care for people with health issues. Among these primary care services are primary care clinics (PCC), where the competencies of registered nurses (RNs) are needed. However, nursing practice in PCCs is variable and sometimes suboptimal from one PCC to another. In 2019, the Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services deployed a practical guide for RNs practicing in PCCs. This guide was intended to support best professional and interprofessional practices and enhance the quality of services offered according to a physical-social vision of care, interprofessional collaboration and partnership with the patient. The Formation de formateurs en première ligne (F2PL) project team developed a train-the-trainer educational intervention to support RNs in assimilating the content of this guide. This educational intervention is uncommon because it includes patients as trainers (PTs). PTs developed and provided andragogic content about patient's experience to enhance patient engagement.

objectiveTo describe the impacts of the educational intervention provided by the PTs in nurses' patient engagement practices in PCCs.

methodsA descriptive qualitative approach was used to describe in-depth changes in RNs' practices. Individual interviews were conducted with 10 RNs and 3 PTs to explore the changes in RNs' practice and the barriers and facilitators to adopting this new practice. An inductive and deductive thematic analysis was carried out according to a conceptual model of patient engagement (the Montreal Model), and emerging themes were condensed into propositions. To ensure credibility, a peer review was conducted with the F2PL team, which includes a patient co-leader.

resultsThe educational intervention provided by PTs has impacted RNs' practice in 3 ways: awareness or reminding of general principles, updating commitment to already known principles and enhancing the development of new professional skills.

conclusionsPTs could effectively support the RNs' motivation to use patient engagement practices in primary care.
