[Room of horrors: impact on attitudes towards resident safety-A pre-post study].

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
backgroundSafety risks in residential long-term care arise from complex care situations and the vulnerability of residents. Simulation-based methods, such as a room of horrors (RoH) intervention, can enhance staff awareness of these risks. This study aimed to investigate how staff attitudes toward resident safety in long-term care develop in the context of a RoH intervention.
methodA written standardized pre-post survey with 176 participants was conducted, measuring attitudes toward safety risks using the German short version of the attitudes to patient safety questionnaire (G-APSQshort).
resultsThe G‑APSQshort score significantly increased from 5.4 to 5.6 points (p < 0.001), with care assistants showing the greatest improvement (p < 0.001). Additionally, 77.3% of participants would recommend the RoH concept further and 80.2% expressed a desire for regular RoH interventions.
conclusionThe RoH intervention enhances staff awareness and attitudes toward resident safety, fostering a safety culture and improving care quality in long-term care; however, the practical relevance of the findings requires further evaluation.
