1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Introduction: Cultural competence is crucial in nursing education, with nurse educators playing a key role. However, limited research has explored factors influencing their cultural competence. Objectives: This study has two aims: to assess cultural competence levels and transcultural teaching behaviors among academic nurse educators and to explore the factors influencing these cultural competencies through both quantitative and qualitative analyses. Methods: A convergent mixed-method design was used. A convenience sample of 45 nurse educators in a Saudi college completed the Cultural Diversity Questionnaire for Nurse Educators-Revised. Semi-structured interviews with 20 purposively selected educators provided insights into factors influencing cultural competence. Data were analyzed using inferential statistics and thematic analysis. Results: The majority of nurse educators exhibited moderate cultural competence with a mean percent score of 73.55 ± 13.5, with cultural awareness being the highest and cultural encounters the lowest. Cultural competence, particularly awareness, played a significant role in shaping and predicting Transcultural Teaching Behaviors, with 92.3% of the variance in teaching behaviors. Thematic analysis identified personal factors, professional development, institutional support, and barriers that influence educators' ability to foster cultural competence. Age, multilingualism, training, and professional growth were found to significantly enhance educators' cultural competence. Conclusion: Nurse educators show moderate cultural competence, with cultural awareness playing a key role in predicting Transcultural Teaching Behaviors. Strengthening cultural encounters through experiential learning and immersion programs is essential. The study highlights the need for professional development, curriculum integration, and institutional support to enhance cultural competence in nursing education.
