Ready to Prevent? An Analysis of the Approach to Suicide in the Curricula of Nursing Degree Programs in Spain.
Article in Journal of advanced nursing, 2026. 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
aimTo analyse how suicide education is integrated into the curricula of nursing degree programmes in Spain.
designA cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted.
methodsA review of 123 nursing curricula and a questionnaire. Data were analysed using IBM SPSS, applying a non-parametric statistical test to assess the presence and depth of suicide education in nursing programmes.
resultsSuicide was typically included in a single module, usually titled Mental Health Nursing, taught in the third year (69%). Overall, 76.42% of programmes included suicide content, dedicating an average of 3.59 h. Teaching was mainly expository, while 27.4% applied active methodologies and 23.3% combined both. Programmes using active methods tended to allocate more hours.
conclusionThe study highlights the need to enhance suicide prevention training in nursing education, both in content and methodology, to better equip future nurses for this critical healthcare challenge. IMPACT: This study reveals significant gaps in Spanish nursing programmes, encouraging improvements in curriculum design to better prepare nurses for real-world mental health challenges. PUBLIC OR PATIENT CONTRIBUTION: Although patients were not directly involved, the research is driven by the goal of enhancing care for individuals at risk of suicide by strengthening nurses' preparedness and response capabilities.
