The impact of nursing care based on transition theory on maternal role performance and parental self-efficacy in primiparous women: a randomized controlled study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05866588 (The Effect Of Nursing Care Based On The Transitional Theory Of Meleis On Primiparous Women's Mothering Role Performance and Parent Self-Efficient), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
AIM AND
objectivesThis study aims to evaluate the impact of individualized nursing care, grounded in Meleis' Transition Theory, on maternal role performance and parental self-efficacy in primiparous women.
backgroundResearch indicates that care practices informed by theoretical frameworks, particularly those focused on the transition to motherhood, can positively influence women's adaptation to their new maternal roles.
designA randomized, single-blind controlled trial was conducted with women meeting the inclusion criteria. Results were reported following the CONSORT 2010 guidelines. The study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov under registration number NCT05866588.
methodsA total of 99 primiparous women participated in the study, with 49 in the experimental group and 50 in the control group. The experimental group received nursing care based on Meleis' Transition Theory, which included 8 educational and counseling sessions-4 prior to birth and 4 after-spanning from the 28th-32nd week of pregnancy through the 4th month postpartum. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, the Being a Parent for the First Time Scale, and the Parental Self-Efficacy Scale. Statistical analyses included t-tests, chi-square tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and regression analysis.
resultsThe nursing care provided to the experimental group led to statistically significant improvements in maternal role satisfaction, perceptions of life changes, and parental self-efficacy compared to the control group (p < 0.05).
conclusionsNursing care based on Meleis' Transition Theory enhanced maternal role satisfaction, increased parental self-efficacy, and improved maternal adaptation in primiparous women. It is recommended that nurses apply Transition Theory to support a healthy transition to motherhood in this population. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: This study provides evidence for the effectiveness of individualized nursing care in facilitating a healthy transition to the maternal role and offers valuable insights for the nursing literature.
