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

introductionCompetency is defined as the variety of skills and knowledge required to perform a specific task. Due to the specificity of pediatric nursing, students face some challenges in acquiring core competencies. Therefore, the use of new training methods in pediatric nursing is necessary. One of the modern learning methods is learning based on clinical scenarios. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the effect of scenario-based education on the core competencies of nursing students.

methodThis quasi-experimental study employed a pre-test and post-test design. All participants (n = 72) were selected via the census method and randomly divided into intervention (N = 33) and control groups (N = 40). The data were collected using a demographic information questionnaire and the Nursing Students' Clinical Competencies Questionnaire. Before the intervention, both groups completed the pre-tests. After one month, the students in both groups completed post-tests.

resultsThe average score of core competencies for the students in the intervention group after the training (247.05, SD = 36.48) increased compared to before the intervention (229.05, SD = 36.58) (P > 0.05). The average score of the core competencies for the students in the control group after the training was 240.76 (SD = 35.36) compared to 235.56 (SD = 27.94) before the intervention, with no significant difference (P < 0.05). The independent t-test did not show a significant difference between the control and intervention groups before and after the intervention (P > 0.05).

conclusionThe results indicated the effectiveness of scenario-based training on the core competencies of students in the intervention group. Accordingly, nursing administrators and professors are recommended to incorporate new scenario-based teaching and learning methods in educational programs of universities. It is also necessary to conduct more research into the effectiveness of this method in combination with other training methods like team-based and problem-based training.
