Development and validation of practice-based multimedia assisted item: a mixed-method study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe rapid development of information and technology and the spread of COVID-19 have made online learning and assessment more prevalent. In this context, the potential of multimedia-assisted items to provide an alternative method of learning and evaluation is significant. These items can better reflect authentic clinical situations and enhance higher cognitive skills. This study aims to develop and validate multimedia-assisted items that reflect clinical authenticity.
methodsA mixed-method design with qualitative and quantitative approaches was adopted. The study was conducted in two phases: development and validation. Thirty-six multimedia-assisted items were developed using videos, audio files, photos, and pictures. Preliminary testing ensured item comprehensibility and usability. In the validation phase, a mock test was administered to 136 nursing students, with 105 completing the survey. Quantitative analysis included calculating item difficulty, discrimination, and reliability and examining evidence based on relation with another variable through correlations with clinical reasoning scores and differences in test scores based on perceived academic achievement. Qualitative analysis involved thematic analysis of interviews with 10 participants to explore their experiences and validate the response process.
resultsThe average total score was 18.1 out of 36, with item difficulty averaging 0.51, item discrimination 0.31, and reliability (Cronbach's alpha) 0.64. While no significant correlation was found between mock test scores and clinical reasoning scores, a significant difference was observed between high and low-perceived academic achievement groups. Participants expressed that the multimedia-assisted items were more relevant to nursing practice than paper-based items, integrating theoretical knowledge and clinical practicum experience, enhancing understanding, and stimulating active participation in clinical practicum.
conclusionsMultimedia-assisted items have been verified as an effective strategy for education and for assessing nursing students' comprehensive competencies. MAIs are adequate for evaluating nursing students' competencies in theory and practice, suggesting that MAIs can enhance newly graduated nurses' competencies and improve online assessments in nursing education.
