Identifying the drivers and trends of Iran nursing education: a multi-methods study.
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
introductionNursing education faces many challenges that can be solved with simple and low-cost measures if properly identified, otherwise these challenges will turn into crisis and their solution will be difficult and costly. Proponents or derivers carry out the task of advancing and solving challenges at the same time.
objectiveThis study was conducted with the aim of identifying the drivers and trends of nursing education.
methodThe research is developmental-applicative in terms of its purpose and descriptive-exploratory in terms of its nature, and a multi method was used to collect data. In the first stage, 723 articles published between 1990 and 2023 were examined using meta-synthesis. In the next stage, 23 semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 nursing professors. Shannon's entropy was used to analyze the content of obtained codes and then, concepts were ranked according to their weights. In the last step, the Delphi method was used to create an agreement.
findingsIn the first stage, after reviewing 9 related articles, 24 codes obtained. After analyzing the interviews, 365 codes identified. The experts agreed on 6 drivers and 31 trends. Empowering policies (such as drivers of using internet and designing systems with greater flexibility), structural and managerial policies (such as drivers of improving management methods/strategies and quality assurance), trans-organizational policies (such as driver of being on the path of globalization), and value policies (such as derivers of developing moral and culture-centeredness) are among the findings of present study.
conclusionIn order to control the challenges of nursing education and prevent them from turning into crisis, operational and basic solutions can be used to improve curriculum in accordance with global standards and advances in knowledge and technology. It is also suggested to improve the student/tutor ratio, establish an accreditation body at the national level, and allocate performance-based budget for the qualitative development of education system.
