Association between education for home care nurses and their practice of comprehensive client assessment: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Geriatrics & gerontology international, 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
aimThis study examined the home care nurses' implementation of comprehensive assessment of their clients, their education and the association betwwen the two. Staff education in home care nursing agencies has the potential to improve nurses' comprehensive client assessment, contributing to the provision of high-quality home care nursing services.
methodsA cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate educational approaches provided by agencies and comprehensive assessment by home care nurses. Multilevel regression analyses were performed to examine the association between education and comprehensive assessment.
resultsWe analyzed data from 105 clients, based on 78 nurses' assessments, across 11 agencies with respect to their respective staff education systems. Various educational programs for novices and all staff were provided. In the multilevel regression analysis, having a designated individual in charge of staff education and regular case reviews for all staff were significantly associated with more comprehensive assessments.
conclusionsEnsuring specific educational opportunities for all home care nurses, rather than solely for novices, might improve their comprehensive assessment in home care nursing agencies. Designating educators and introducing regular case reviews as part of agencies' educational systems may improve comprehensive assessment. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2025; 25: 572-582.
