A cross-sectional study applying the PRECEDE model to explore factors influencing epidemic prevention behaviors among preschool educators.
Article in BMC public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThis study investigates the epidemic prevention behaviors of preschool educators and the factors influencing these behaviors, applying the PRECEDE model as a framework for analysis.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among 190 preschool educators from public and private institutions in Taipei City and New Taipei City. A 64-item self-developed questionnaire was used to assess epidemic prevention behaviors and their determinants. The instrument's reliability was supported by internal consistency (Cronbach's α ranging from 0.85 to 0.92), while its validity was confirmed through expert review, item analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Statistical analyses included hierarchical regression to examine the influence of predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling factors on behavior.
resultsThe model explained 54% of the variance in epidemic prevention behaviors. Enabling factors had the strongest influence (β = 0.46, p < 0.001), followed by reinforcing factors (β = 0.15, p < 0.05) and predisposing attitudes (β = 0.14, p < 0.05). Background variables, such as age (β = 0.23, p < 0.001) and years of service, collectively explained 14% of the variance.
conclusionThe findings underscore the critical role of institutional support and professional training in enhancing epidemic prevention practices among preschool educators. Recommendations include integrating disease prevention training into professional development initiatives.
