1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundThe increasing cultural diversity in healthcare in European countries, including Austria, has highlighted the need to enhance nurses' cultural competence. Assessing cultural competence and identifying relevant influencing factors can help to improve culturally competent care. The aim of this study was to assess the cultural competence of nurses and nursing students working in Austrian acute care settings and to identify influencing factors using the Cultural Competence Assessment scale.

methodsA cross-sectional design was used. Data collection was carried out in March 2021 with nurses and nursing students in the last year of their studies who were working in Austrian acute care settings. Descriptive analysis was applied to display the general characteristics of the study participants and the levels of their overall cultural competence. A multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to analyze the influencing factors of cultural competence.

resultsThe nurses' cultural competence level was moderate to high (mean = 3.89; SD = .48). Their age, educational level, cultural diversity training and self-perceived cultural competence significantly influenced the level (F (6, 875) = 18.971, p < .0000, adj. R2 = 1.09).

conclusionsProviding culturally competent healthcare services for culturally diverse patients is essential for all healthcare professionals, and especially for nurses who spend the most time with patients. Effective interventions, such as educational training, need to be implemented in order to deliver culturally competent care and potentially reduce disparities in healthcare and improve patient outcomes.
