Feasibility of a Culturally Specific DEmentia Competence Education for Nursing Home Taskforce (DECENT) Programme: A Mixed-Method Approach.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Although educational resources have been developed to build staff's dementia care competence in Western culture, their applicability and cultural relevance to the Chinese population are questionable. To address this gap, the DEmentia Competence Education for Nursing home Taskforce (DECENT) programme was developed and tailored to Chinese staff. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effects of the DECENT programme. A one-group pretest-posttest study, embedded with a qualitative component, was conducted among 12 healthcare professionals. The DECENT programme comprised eight topics covering essential competencies in dementia care. It was delivered face-to-face by a qualified educator once per week for 60-90 min over 8 weeks. Outcomes were measured at baseline and immediately post-intervention. A satisfaction survey and individual interviews were conducted post-intervention to understand participants' perceptions and experience with the intervention. Nine participants finished the post-intervention assessment. Except for staff's attitudes towards people with dementia, quantitative findings generally demonstrated positive changes following the intervention. Three categories were identified from the qualitative data: well-developed programme, perceived benefits, and barriers. The findings showed that the DECENT programme is feasible and is perceived by nursing home staff as relevant and useful to daily practice. A larger-scale study is needed to evaluate its effectiveness.
