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

backgroundEmbarking on a university education is a significant milestone in a person's life. However, evidence shows that many students face poor sleep quality and academic self-doubt during this period. This study aimed to determine the effect of Orem self-care interventions on sleep quality and the academic self-efficacy of nursing students.

methodsThis quasi-experimental study employed a pre-test and post-test control group design to evaluate the intervention's effects. The study was conducted between October 23 and November 10, 2023, and included 84 nursing students. The participants were randomly divided into two groups: an intervention group and a control group. The tools used were a demographic questionnaire, an Orem self-care model survey and recognition form, the Zajacova Academic Self-Efficacy Beliefs Questionnaire, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. The experimental group's intervention, grounded in Orem's self-care model, included four sessions, each lasting 30 to 45 min. These sessions addressed self-care principles, techniques related to universal needs (like air, water, food, and excretory processes), and strategies for risk prevention while ensuring a balance between activity and rest. There were no follow-up interventions after the initial training sessions. At the end of the intervention, all students in both groups had completed the study instruments. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 26 software, which included the chi-square test, Independent-samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Paired-samples t-test, and Wilcoxon signed rank test.

resultsThe results showed that before the intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in the average total sleep quality score (7.64 ± 2.48 in the experimental group versus 7.42 ± 2.74 in the control group) or academic self-efficacy (148.38 ± 12.10 in the experimental group versus 144.66 ± 10 in the control group) between the two groups. However, after the intervention, there were significant changes in the experimental group's total sleep quality score (3.80 ± 1.56) and academic self-efficacy score (170.71 ± 10.58) compared to the control group's total sleep quality score (7.80 ± 2.81) and academic self-efficacy score (149.42 ± 11).

conclusionIn other words, interventions based on Orem's self-care positively affect students' sleep quality and academic self-efficacy. Based on the results, a self-care program based on the Orem model for nursing students can improve their sleep quality and academic self-efficacy. Therefore, it is recommended that this model be used for students in educational environments.
