Finding #26
Where nurses were supervised by doctors, the quality of this supervision was central to the building of confidence in both partners.
Assessment for each CERQual component
Methodological limitations Minor concerns because 2 studies did not report sampling strategy and this may not influence the findings.
Coherence No or very minor concerns.
Relevance No or very minor concerns. Participants in 6 studies were nurses, in 6 studies were doctors, in 1 study were recipients of care, and in 2 studies were managers.
Adequacy Minor concerns, as 8 studies with relatively few data reported this finding.
Overall CERQual assessment
Moderate confidence Due to minor concerns about methodological limitations and adequacy.
