Advancing a relational approach through online education: A mixed methods assessment in older adults' care.
Article in Australasian journal on ageing, 2025. 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
objectiveTo evaluate the experience of health-care workers who completed an online professional development program designed to support family carergivers in care teams in personal care homes. The evaluation focussed on issues of access and uptake of education modules.
methodsAn explanatory sequential mixed methods design was used to include data from posteducation surveys, and online module analytics of use, to inform interview questions. Demographic data, survey data and video analytics were described. Focus group data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Mixed method data integration enabled inference development.
resultsAcross eight personal care homes located in Canada and Australia, of 114 health-care workers (mainly care aides) who commenced the online education modules, 89 watched and completed the postassessment. Most agreed that the educational content increased their understanding, and the videos increased their knowledge. Ten participants took part in focus groups interviews. The education was perceived as another way to learn and was considered beneficial for individual and team practice. Health-care workers found it difficult to find time to undertake learning opportunities outside work when their lives were busy and involved other responsibilities or multiple jobs. The need for organisational support to coordinate time during work to undertake work-related learning was highlighted.
conclusionsCaregiver-centred care education exemplifies enhancing relational care among health-care staff and family caregivers, beneficial for individual and team practice. By valuing education for health-care workers through creating opportunities for staff to engage during work time, a cultural environment that embodies continuous learning can be created in sectors caring with older adults.
