Improving the psychomotor performance of student nurses using remote clinical skills practice: a mixed-methods 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 4 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
introductionInnovative approaches are essential in nursing education to ensure the continuity of skill acquisition, particularly in situations where traditional face-to-face teaching methods are not feasible.
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of remote learning in enabling student nurses to acquire psychomotor skills, with a focus on 'blood pressure measurement'-a noninvasive procedure that can be practiced safely at home.
methodsUsing an experimental design with group randomization and a mixed-method approach, 44 first-year nursing students participated, with 22 in the experimental group and 22 in the control group. After a theoretical course on blood pressure measurement, the control group followed a licensed video program, while the experimental group practiced with a simulated patient under an educator's guidance in an remote environment. The research was conducted between March 2021 and October 2021, encompassing all phases of the study. These phases included preliminary information, remote training, and feedback sessions in March 2021, the first assessment in April 2021, and the second assessment in October 2021. The 'Descriptive Characteristics Form,' 'Blood Pressure Measurement Skill Checklist,' and 'We Practice Remote Clinical Skills Together Online Comments Form' were used for data collection. Descriptive statistics (means, standard deviations, frequencies, percentages) and the Mann-Whitney U test were applied for quantitative data analysis, while qualitative data were analyzed inductively based on student opinions from both groups.
resultsThe first performance assessment showed no significant difference between the control and experimental groups' mean scores (p = 0.440). However, the second assessment revealed a significant difference favoring the experimental group (p = 0.001). The qualitative data were categorised into three main themes: emotions, learning and confidence, with a total of 34 codes. Emotions accounted for 50% of the codes, including happiness, stress, comfort and anxiety. Learning accounted for 41% and included awareness, interaction-communication, skill acquisition and information retention. Finally, self-confidence, represented by skill practice in the laboratory, accounted for 9% of the codes.
conclusionThis study demonstrates that educator-guided remote skill training can positively impact students' psychomotor skill acquisition. It highlights the potential for effectively teaching specific nursing skills in remote environments when guided by an educator.
