A pre - post quasi-experimental study of team-based learning effectiveness for Vietnamese nursing students.
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
backgroundTeam-Based Learning (TBL) is a student-centered teaching strategy designed to improve problem-solving skills, knowledge, and practical abilities. Despite its increasing use in nursing education globally, limited research has explored its effectiveness in Vietnam. This study evaluates the impact of TBL on learning outcomes, accountability, preferences, satisfaction, engagement, perceptions, and attitudes of Vietnamese nursing students during the Nursing Care for Adults with Internal Medicine course.
methodsA quasi-experimental pre-post study was conducted with 186 fourth-year nursing students at a nursing faculty in Vietnam during the 2023-2024 academic year. TBL was implemented in the course, and data were collected using validated instruments, including the Individual Readiness Assurance Test (i-RAT), Team Readiness Assurance Test (t-RAT), Classroom Engagement Survey (CES), and Perceived Collective Efficacy (PCE) scale. Data were collected from January to April 2024 and analyzed using SPSS version 20.0.
resultsThe mean t-RAT scores significantly exceeded i-RAT scores, increasing from 8.17 to 9.68 (t = -19.507, p < 0.001), indicating improved group performance. Students' attitudes toward teamwork showed significant improvements across all dimensions, with higher post-TBL mean scores. CES and PCE scores also increased significantly post-TBL (31.37 ± 2.002 vs. 29.54 ± 2.186; t = -8.981, p < 0.001; 4.03 ± 0.488 vs. 3.64 ± 0.461, t = -8.667, p < 0.001). Additionally, students reported positive experiences with TBL, with average scores for accountability, preference, and satisfaction at 31.19 ± 2.975, 57.10 ± 5.279, and 36.54 ± 3.815, respectively.
conclusionsTBL effectively enhances academic performance, teamwork attitudes, and group responsibility awareness among Vietnamese nursing students. This approach holds promise for improving nursing education in Vietnam, and educators are encouraged to expand its application to other universities and disciplines.
