Development and application of a core competency evaluation index system for pediatric asthma specialist nurses in China: a mixed-method 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 1 paper.
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
backgroundSpecialist nurses' core competencies are crucial for pediatric asthma management, yet no evaluation system exists for these competencies.
objectiveTo construct a core competency evaluation index system for pediatric asthma specialist nurses.
designA mixed-method study using semi-structured interview, Delphi method and cross-sectional survey.
methodsLiterature review and semi-structured interviews were performed to developed the initial competencies evaluation index system for pediatric asthma specialist nurses. A two-round Delphi survey was conducted from May 2022 to August 2022, with 21 experts from four provinces in China to rate the importance of each indicator and propose modifications to the evaluation index system. A questionnaire survey with the evaluation indicators was conducted to investigate the level of nurses' core competency after pediatric asthma specialist training.
resultsThe effective questionnaire recovery rates were 100% and 95% in two rounds of expert consultation, with expert authority coefficients of 0.892 and 0.910, respectively. The core competency evaluation index system for pediatric asthma specialist nurses included 2 definitions, 6 first-level indicators, 16 second-level indicators and 63 third-level indicators. The Kendall's W coefficients were 0.343 and 0.384 for the first- and second-level indicators in the second round of consultations. Of 80 questionnaires, 69 were valid, wtith Cronbach's α coefficients of the first-level indicators ranging from 0.896 to 0.968.
conclusionA core competency evaluation index system for pediatric asthma specialist nurses was developed, and demonstrated to be scientific, reliable, and applicable. STATEMENT OF IMPLICATIONS: The core competency index system for pediatric asthma nurses standardizes the assessments, and supports professional development, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes.
