Experiences in practicing physical examination skills among undergraduate nursing students in clinical rotation based on the COM-B system: a descriptive qualitative 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
purposesTo explore the experiences of Chinese undergraduate nursing students in practicing physical examination (PE) skills during clinical rotation.
methodsA descriptive-qualitative approach was used. A total of 18 undergraduate nursing students from eight universities were interviewed. The interview outline was developed based on a behavioral system, capability, opportunity, and motivation.
resultsBased on the capability, opportunity, and motivation, six themes were extracted from undergraduate nursing students: knowledge and skills of physical examinations, departmental support for nursing students, challenges from patients, students' sense of responsibility, perceived accomplishment of physical examinations, and peer-to-peer communication.
conclusionThis study emphasizes the importance of enhancing undergraduate nursing students' capability, providing opportunities, and fostering their motivation to practice PE skills during clinical rotations. Based on these three dimensions, universities and clinical educators should design effective learning strategies for nursing students to practice PE skills in clinical settings.
