Cultural competence among nursing students: exploring differences across academic stages.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
backgroundCultural competence is essential in healthcare, especially in diverse settings like Israel, to ensure equitable care for all patients. Nurses must develop skills to respect and address the unique cultural needs of various populations. This competence is primarily acquired through education and clinical experience.
aimThe aim of the study is to examine the levels of cultural competence among Israeli nursing students, comparing those at early stages with those at advanced stages of their studies.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted using an online survey with 225 nursing students from various institutions in Israel. Cultural competence was assessed using the Cultural Competence Assessment Tool (CCAT).
findingsAdvanced students showed significantly higher cultural competence than early-stage students. Additionally, a positive correlation was found between the number of languages spoken and cultural competence levels. DISCUSSION: The study examined differences in cultural competence between nursing students at early and advanced stages of their studies, highlighting its importance in nursing education. Developing cultural competence is essential for nurses to provide effective, patient-centered care in diverse healthcare environments.
conclusionCultural competence increases with education and clinical exposure. The findings highlight the need for integrating cultural competence training earlier in nursing curricula to better prepare students for diverse healthcare environments.
