Determinants of the intention to work in aged care: a cross-sectional study to assess gerontological nursing competencies among undergraduate nursing students.
Article in BMC nursing, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundThere are huge demands for aged-care workers, and undergraduate gerontological nursing education plays a critical role in providing academic and professional training. PURPOSE: To examine relationships of characteristics, aged-care education, and gerontological nursing competencies with the intention to work in aged care.
methodsAn online survey was distributed to undergraduate nursing students between April and June 2022 to gather characteristics, relevant aged-care education, gerontological nursing competencies, and intentions to work in aged care data. Multivariate regression analyses were conducted to identify determinants of the intention to work in aged care.
resultsStudents (n = 358) who were older (p < 0.001) and who were married (p < 0.001) had higher intentions to work in aged care. "Promoting mental health and psychological well-being", "Providing evidence-based dementia care", and "Enabling access to technology", were also associated with positive intentions.
conclusionsThis study provides evidence on determinants of the intention to work in aged care, particularly gerontological nursing competencies.
