Assessing Professional Competencies Among Undergraduate Jordanian Nursing Students: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in SAGE open nursing. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: To make sure that nursing students are capable of providing high-quality care and are adequately prepared for the workforce, it is imperative to evaluate the professional abilities of undergraduate nurses. Objectives: This study aims to assess the core professional competencies among undergraduate nursing students and evaluate the mean differences between professional competencies with student's demographic characteristics. Materials and Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional comparative design was used. A total of 150 nursing students were recruited using the convenient sampling method. Data were collected using the Nurse Professional Competence Scale (NPCS)-short version 35 items. Data were collected conveniently through an online form that was filled and submitted through a Google survey link that was started from February 8, 2024, to September 21, 2024. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the demographics of participants. Pearson correlation, Results: The overall average competencies of nursing students were 80.8 ± 10.7 indicating high competency scores among nursing students. At .05 significant level (two-tailed), the correlation was significant between marital status ( Conclusion: The findings of this study can help educators and curriculum designers create programs that fill up the theoretical-clinical gaps, making graduates more capable of handling the demands of healthcare settings. Furthermore, to produce well-rounded, capable, and self-assured nursing professionals who can effectively contribute to patient care in Jordan, our findings highlight the necessity of enhancing clinical training, curriculum development, mentorship, and support system, conducting a professional development workshop, and collaborating with healthcare institutions.
