Effectiveness of a continuous training program on knowledge and professional development of healthcare providers in healthy community clinics in Jordan: a quasi-experimental 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, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of a Continuous Training Program on the knowledge and professional development of healthcare providers in Healthy Community Clinics in Jordan.
backgroundOngoing professional development for healthcare providers is essential for delivering high-quality care to patients with chronic conditions.
designA quasi-experimental, post-test-only design was utilized across fourteen health directorates in Jordan.
methodsThirteen training sessions, each lasting two days, were conducted in large educational centers between July 20 and August 15, 2024. 215 healthcare providers participated in the Healthy Community Clinic Refresher Training Program. Data were collected at the end of the training program using a structured post-test knowledge questionnaire and a professional development scale.
resultsThe mean age of healthcare providers was 39.4 ± 7.3 years, with a notably high representation of females (92.6%) and nursing professionals (87.9%). Over half of the healthcare providers demonstrated high scores in all professional development items. The mean post-test knowledge score was 32.01 ± 5.09. A one-sample t-test indicated a significant difference from the target score (t = 23.017; p = 0.001, 95% CI -8.67 to -7.31). Gender was a significant factor in communication assessment (t = 6.470; p = 0.001), and the frequency of attendance at the Healthy Community Clinic Refresher Training Program was strongly associated with overall post-test scores, as well as knowledge of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, communication skills, and implementation strategies (p = 0.021, 0.004, 0.001, and 0.001, respectively).
conclusionThe findings reveal a favorable outcome regarding professional development, indicating that sustained training initiatives can enhance healthcare providers' competencies and performance in community health settings.
