Determinants of Infection Prevention and Control Practices in Japanese Nursing Homes: A Scoping Review.
Article in Nursing & health sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Understanding the determinants influencing healthcare workers' (HCWs) behaviors is essential for promoting infection prevention and control (IPC) in Japanese nursing homes (NHs). This scoping review aimed to map IPC determinants in Japanese NHs using two behavior change frameworks and to identify research gaps. We conducted a scoping review using three databases, following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. Reviewers independently screened reports, assessed eligibility, and extracted IPC behavior determinants. Extracted data were mapped and thematically analyzed using the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and the Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation-Behavior model. Of 1778 records identified, 22 reports published between 2006 and 2021 met the inclusion criteria. We codified 70 determinants and generated 15 themes. Most reports addressed barriers related to limited IPC knowledge, skills, resources, and systems. Facilitators were mainly codified within motivation-related TDF domains, where an underexplored research gap was identified. Further research focusing on IPC motivation and a deeper understanding of NH contexts is important for developing context-appropriate IPC promotion strategies. A participatory approach involving NH residents and HCWs may be helpful in future research.
