tbh I’m not on the research end I’m on the butt end with the people experiencing it directly (which is where I wanna be the most I wanna do is maybe teach someday) so I have empirical backup but most of my knowledge is experiential. I guess the best way I can describe it is that certain stuff just starts giving you anxiety. Nurse knowledge is like 2-3 years of following strict rules you learned in school then when you hit your stride something crystallizes in your brain and you can just look at certain patients through that lens and your nervous system just says “absofuckinglutely not, no.” So I can’t cite stats I can just tell you where the needle is on how anxious it makes me. Which is it’s own type of knowledge.
