The impact of suicide prevention training for nursing assistant students: Knowledge and willingness to intervene.
Article in PloS one, 2025. 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
Nursing assistants frequently encounter individuals at risk of suicidal behavior in various healthcare settings. This study aims to assess the impact of suicide prevention training materials on nursing assistant students' knowledge of, and willingness to intervene in suicidal behavior. Pre- and post-training assessments were conducted using the Revised Facts on Suicide Quiz and the Willingness to Intervene against Suicide Questionnaire measuring students' knowledge of and willingness to intervene in suicidal behavior. Repeated measures analyses were used to assess changes before and after the use of teaching materials. Students significantly improved overall scores on the Revised Facts on Suicide Quiz (from a pretest mean of 9.55 ± 2.97 to a posttest mean of 13.28 ± 2.51, (p < .001) and the Willingness to Intervene against Suicide Questionnaire (from a pretest mean of 85.63 ± 8.22 to a posttest mean of 92.28 ± 8.93, (p < .001.). Attitudes were not a significant predictor of intention to intervene. These findings underscore the importance of training nursing assistants in suicide prevention as a means of early intervention of suicide behavior. Fostering a proactive attitude and willingness to intervene is crucial for nursing assistants in early identification and intervention in cases of suicidal behavior within healthcare settings. Finally, the results underscore the importance of targeted suicide prevention curricula in social and health-related vocational programs.
