Evaluating the Implementation of Strategies to Improve Evidence-Based Surgical Care: A Focus Group Study.
Article in Journal of advanced nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimTo evaluate healthcare professionals' perspectives on factors that lead to success in the implementation of strategies to strengthen evidence-based surgical nursing care.
designA qualitative study design with focus group interviews, according to Krueger and Casey in a surgical department at a university hospital in Sweden.
methodsFour focus groups were conducted with 18 participants, including specialist nurses in surgical care, registered nurses and assistant nurses. Data were collected in February-March 2024. A semi-structured interview guide was used, and data were analysed using qualitative content analysis.
resultsThree themes with seven subthemes were developed to capture the evaluation of health care professionals' perspectives of the implementation strategies to strengthen evidence-based surgical nursing care. The themes were (1) Roles and leadership, (2) Engagement in the implementation, and (3) Facilitators and barriers to implementation. The implementation has meant the transition from theory to practice and integrating new routines into the surgical department. It was a learning process where the health care professionals needed to familiarise themselves with new concepts and working methods. The positive outcome of the project and support from the nursing leadership were important facilitators in the implementation process.
conclusionsThe implementation of new ways of working was a complex process with both resistance and learning, but it ultimately led to positive changes in the surgical care environment. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND IMPACT: The project has entailed that specialist nurses in surgical care have increased nursing power in the department and extended responsibilities. Support from the head of the department and the management team has been crucial to being able to carry out the project, and the implementation of activities in small steps has been successful.
