    Upload PDFs from CINAHL or your library, or import by DOI or URL. Tell the AI to use only your sources.

  • Every citation opens

    Click a citation to see the passage it rests on, then mark it reviewed.

  • A paper, not a chat

    Write and revise one section at a time in a real document, then export to Word or PDF.

Why Hand Hygiene Still Fails in Hospitals

2 What Compliance Figures Tell Us

A 2022 review of 105 studies reported pooled observed compliance of 52% for nurses and 45% for physicians. The findings give a sense of the gap between expected and observed practice, but interpreting them requires caution. Differences between studies were very large.

3 The Conditions Around a Missed Opportunity

Afework and Tamene's 2025 review brought together 28 qualitative studies and grouped reported barriers into behavioral, organizational, physical, and interpersonal categories. This helps explain why another reminder may leave a problem unresolved.

  • Peer-reviewed, last five years

    Finding articles that fit the rubric often takes longer than writing.

  • Points lost to APA

    Running heads, hanging indents and reference order cost grades.

  • Due between clinicals

    Papers compete with shifts, exams, family and sleep.

APA 7, handled

Lose points for ideas, not commas. In-text citations and the reference list follow APA 7 as you write, in alphabetical order with hanging indents.

  • Also MLA, Chicago and IEEE
  • Export to Word or PDF
  • Every reference keeps its DOI

Your writing, your sources

Worried about AI policies or detectors? Thezis keeps your thinking on the page and every source in view.

  1. You choose the articles

    Thezis writes from the sources in your document, not from memory.

  2. You ask for one part at a time

    A sentence, a paragraph or a section. Never the whole paper in one click.

  3. You check every citation

    Open each one to its passage before you keep it.

Questions nursing students ask

Straight answers, including what Thezis doesn't do.

Is it allowed at my nursing school?

Policies differ by school and by course, so check yours. Thezis is built for you to stay the author: you choose the sources, ask for help with one part at a time, and check every citation before you keep it.

Will it make up references?

Citations come from sources in your document or from academic sources the AI finds, and you can open them to the supporting passage. Check each one against the article before you submit.

Can I use articles from CINAHL or my library?

Yes. Download the PDFs and upload them, or import by DOI or URL. You can tell the AI to write only from your document's sources.

Does it do APA 7?

Yes. In-text citations and the reference list format in APA 7, and also MLA, Chicago and IEEE. Export to Word or PDF.

Is it free?

Writing, sources, citations and exports are free. Every account gets 10 free AI requests; unlimited AI writing is a paid plan.

What doesn't it do?

It doesn't write a whole paper in one click, run a systematic review, or write care plans and clinical documentation.
