Abstract

In a sample of 378 nurses, 42% regarded themselves as involved in psychotropic drug-related decisions, but 86% felt they should be involved. Subjective drug assessment techniques were favored over more objective, standardized instruments. Nurses were aware of the potential of psychotropic drugs to interfere with cognition, but a disconcerting number failed to identify a series of bogus side effects. The majority regarded their pre-registration and inservice training on drugs as inadequate. Findings were related to a previous survey carried out in another specialty.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
