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

backgroundCultural competence is an important concept for nursing students, educational interventions are important for enhancing cultural competence among nursing students and literature indicates varied effectiveness in this regard. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of an educational intervention based on the Campinha-Bacote model on cultural competence of undergraduate nursing students.

methodsFor this experimental study a total of 88 third-semester undergraduate nursing students were selected from a nursing school in Tehran, Iran, in 2024. These students had community health nursing courses and were in two classes. A class was randomly assigned for each group by lottery method. The intervention group participated in a four-week educational intervention based on the Campinha-Bacote model. Two groups completed a demographic questionnaire and the Cultural Capacity Scale before, immediately, and one month after the intervention. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential methods.

resultsThe two groups were similar in terms of most demographic characteristics, cultural competence, and its domains (cultural knowledge, cultural sensitivity, and cultural skills) before the intervention (p > 0.05). Immediately and one month after the intervention cultural competence and its domains were higher in the intervention group than in the control group. Furthermore, in the mixed repeated measures ANOVA, the interaction effect of time and group was significant for cultural competence, cultural knowledge, and cultural sensitivity (p < 0.05), indicating that changes in these variables over time differed between the groups, suggesting a positive effect of the intervention.

conclusionsThe findings of this study indicated that the educational intervention based on the Campinha-Bacote model can improve cultural competence and its domains among undergraduate nursing students. Future research can be focused on more specific educational interventions based on the needs of nursing students, and culturally diverse clients with real-life experiences for the students in different clinical settings.
