Effectiveness of Evidence-Based Practice-Based Mentor Nurse Training Program: A Quasi-Experimental Controlled Study Design.
Article in Worldviews on evidence-based nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundThe translation of evidence-based practice (EBP) into routine nursing practice remains a persistent challenge.
aimTo evaluate the impact of a structured EBP Mentor Nurse Training Program, developed using the Johns Hopkins EBP model as a process guide and conceptually grounded in the ARCC (Advancing Research and Clinical Practice through Close Collaboration) model, which emphasizes the development of EBP mentors to enhance implementation and competency.
methodThis quasi-experiment used a pretest-posttest design with equivalent control and intervention groups (n = 52; intervention group = 26, control group = 26). The intervention consisted of a blended training program (16 h face-to-face, 3 h online) covering EBP, mentoring, and communication skills. The control group received no intervention. Data were collected using the Nurse Information Form, the Evidence-Based Practice Evaluation Competency Scale, and the Mentoring Scale. The TREND statement guided reporting.
resultsPost-test results indicated significant improvements in the intervention group's EBP knowledge sub-dimension and total competency scores. Statistically significant gains were also observed in the coaching, role modeling, counseling, acceptance and approval, and friendship sub-dimensions of the Mentoring Scale. Effect sizes ranged from d = 0.5 (coaching) to d = 0.8 (EBP knowledge), indicating moderate to large practical significance. LINKING EVIDENCE TO ACTION: Structured EBP mentorship programs effectively enhance nurses' knowledge, EBP competencies, and mentoring abilities. These outcomes align with the ARCC model, supporting the cultivation of EBP mentors as a sustainable strategy for EBP integration. Incorporating blended learning and active mentorship in nursing education can foster a culture of collaboration, improve clinical decision-making, and promote better patient outcomes.
