Predictors of midwifery graduate outcomes in Palestine: a cross-sectional study of curriculum quality, faculty support, and regional disparities.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundMidwifery education critically shapes graduates' employment status and satisfaction. This study identifies predictors of employment outcomes and satisfaction among Palestinian midwifery graduates, focusing on sociodemographic factors, curriculum quality, clinical training, and faculty support. It also analyzes regional employment disparities and satisfaction variations across graduation cohorts.
methods273 graduates of the Midwifery Bachelor's Program at Ibn Sina College of Health Professions completed a cross-sectional survey. Data collected included sociodemographic information, employment status, and satisfaction with curriculum, clinical training, and faculty support. Instrument validity was confirmed with a Content Validity Index (CVI) of 0.84. A pilot study (n = 27) refined the survey. Statistical analyses included Chi-square tests, Pearson's correlations, and multiple logistic regression, with results presented as odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
resultsGraduates under 25 years had lower employment rates (OR = 0.68, 95% CI: 0.50-0.92, p = 0.036), while married graduates were more likely to be employed. Strong faculty mentorship tripled employment odds (OR = 2.75, 95% CI: 1.81-4.18, p = 0.002). Curriculum quality moderately correlated with satisfaction (ρ = 0.32, p = 0.001). Neonatal training satisfaction was lower (33% excellent, 55% good), with identified gaps in clinical preparedness. Employment disparities across regions were statistically significant (χ² = 10.82, p = 0.001), favoring the northern West Bank.
conclusionImprovements are needed in neonatal care training and faculty mentorship. Clinical rotations in high-risk settings should expand. Future research must include socioeconomic status and prior healthcare experience as variables. Regional job placement initiatives are necessary to address employment disparities. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
