Competence and training needs in cancer pain management among nurses: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Background: Effective cancer pain management remains a critical global healthcare priority, however, significant disparities in nursing competence persist across healthcare systems. Although previous research has identified deficiencies in pain management practices, comprehensive evaluations of nurses' competence specifically in cancer pain management and their associated training needs are limited. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge by assessing nurses' competency levels, identifying key modifiable factors that influence performance, and examining both the current status of training and unmet educational needs. Methods: This cross-sectional study included a sample of 202 nurses. Cancer pain management competence was assessed using the Nurses' Cancer Pain Management Competency Scale. Group comparisons were conducted using Results: Nurses demonstrated a moderate level of competence on the Nurses' Cancer Pain Management Competency Scale. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that age, pain or cancer pain training, frequency of cancer pain care, and emotional intelligence were significant predictors of cancer pain management competence, collectively explaining 50.1% of the variance in scores ( Conclusion: This study highlights that nurses' competence in cancer pain management is significantly influenced by age, pain or cancer pain training, frequency of cancer pain care, and emotional intelligence. Despite a high demand for education, recent participation in training remains suboptimal. The preference for e-learning indicates a growing inclination toward flexible and accessible training approaches. Addressing these gaps in competence and training is crucial for improving the quality of cancer pain management in clinical practice.
