Transitioning to competency-based education in nursing: a scoping review of curriculum review and revision strategies.
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 8 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
aimThis scoping review synthesizes strategies for curriculum review and revision that support the implementation of CBE in nursing programs.
backgroundAs the demands of modern healthcare systems evolve, nursing education must adapt to ensure that graduates possess the competencies required for effective, patient-centered care. Competency-based education (CBE) offers a robust framework to guide such transformation.
methodsFollowing the JBI methodology and PRISMA-ScR guidelines, a scoping review was conducted across five databases. Studies were screened based on inclusion criteria aligned with the Population-Concept-Context (PCC) framework. Peer-reviewed research and reviews were included, while commentaries, editorials, and gray literature were excluded. Data were extracted using a structured form and analyzed thematically using NVivo 15.
findingsA total of 37 peer-reviewed studies were included, spanning a range of international settings and methodological designs. Key strategies identified were thematically categorized into three domains: curriculum design, teaching methods, and assessment. Implementation challenges involved faculty resistance and resource limitations, addressed through stakeholder engagement, faculty development, and technology integration. The findings demonstrate CBE's potential to transform nursing education when supported by systemic strategies.
conclusionThe findings underscores the importance of a systemic approach to CBE integration, involving curriculum redesign, innovative teaching methods, and robust assessment frameworks. The findings provide actionable insights for nursing educators and institutions to enhance workforce readiness and align education with contemporary healthcare demands. By addressing challenges and leveraging evidence-based strategies, nursing programs can successfully transition to CBE and better prepare graduates for the complexities of modern practice.
