Evaluation and improvement of nursing undergraduates' informatics competencies using a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making model.
Article in BMC medical education, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundNursing staff need to be constantly exposed to information systems at work and encounter patients who share medical data obtained from the internet; this was widely observed during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Hence, nursing staff should have the necessary skills and education that can help them develop nursing students' informatics competencies. However, research on assessing and improving nursing students' informatics competencies remains scarce.
objectiveThis study aimed to provide nursing educators with a refined evaluation model and targeted improvement strategies tailored to enhance undergraduate students' informatics competencies.
designA cross-sectional study.
methodsThis study constructed a hybrid multiple-criteria decision-making model. The analytical hierarchical process was applied to obtain criteria weights; thereafter, the Visekriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje with Aspiration-level (VIKOR-AS) method was used to assess undergraduate nursing students' informatics competencies of in the case hospital.
participantsData were obtained from 22 clinically experienced nurses with experience in supervising undergraduate nursing students at a secondary public hospital in Zhejiang Province, China.
resultsAccording to the weighted results, "Skill (C
conclusionsThis study model remedies the shortcomings of previous studies on evaluating undergraduate students' informatics competency dimensions, provides a reference for nursing colleges to develop nursing informatics-related curriculum content, and helps train nursing instructors to assess and train specific students. The results indicate that information skills are an important factor in the development of nursing students' informatics competencies; hence, nursing educators should prioritize the development of nursing students' informatics competencies, followed by information knowledge and attitudes.
