1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundLeopold maneuvers are one of the independent roles of nurses to monitor the level of intrauterine development of the fetus. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of simulated Leopold maneuver training on safe pregnancy follow-up of nursing students.

methodsA randomized controlled experimental design study used a questionnaire. The sample consisted of 4th-grade nursing students (n = 66). The study was conducted between May-June 2023. Data were collected using a form that included 18 issues The study was conducted in five steps. Participants were randomly assigned to either the experimental or control groups.

resultsThe study found that students in the experimental group who received training using hybrid simulation had significantly higher Leopold knowledge (EG = 12.78 ± 3.06; CG = 5.93 ± 1.17), skills (EG = 14.87 ± 2.02; CG = 8.66 ± 2.43), and correct assessment of Leopold maneuvers (EG = 3.09 ± 0.81; CG = 0.51 ± 0.61) compared to students in the control group (p < 0.001). Our study found that the Perceived Stress Scale for Nursing Students (EG = 58.96 ± 14.81; CG = 79.15 ± 15.28), Bio-Psycho-Social Response Scale for Nursing Students (EG = 21.81 ± 7.16; CG = 41.36 ± 12.41), and Stress Coping Behaviors Scale for Nursing Students (EG = 46.718 ± 5.57; CG = 37.36 ± 7.04) scores of the group that received simulated Leopold maneuvers training were significantly different from the control group (p < 0.001).

conclusionLearning through simulation in women's health nursing education helped students gain Leopold knowledge, skills, and accurate assessments. Simulated education decreased students' Perceived Stress for Nursing Student, Bio-Psycho-Social Response for Nursing Students' levels, and increased their Stress Coping Behavior for Nursing Students' levels. Our study at the ISRCTN registry: ttps:// www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN16201085 . number and is stated "Retrospectively registered".date:4 November 2024.
