Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice Toward Chronic Pain in Older Adults Among Health Sciences Students: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of pain research, 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
Purpose: Effective management of chronic pain in older adults is essential for enhancing physical health, quality of life, and psychological well-being. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of health sciences students regarding chronic pain among older adults. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among health sciences students at Fujian Health College from November to December 2023, utilizing a validated questionnaire. A total of 1785 valid questionnaires were enrolled (356 males; mean age: 18.82±0.94 years). A structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis was performed to determine how the KAP dimensions influenced each other. Results: The mean scores for knowledge, attitudes, and practices were 20.60±3.22 (possible range: 0-32; 64.38% of maximum range), 48.57±8.31 (possible range: 12-60; 80.95% of maximum range), and 28.62±6.67 (possible range: 9-45; 63.60% of maximum range), respectively. The SEM analysis indicated that knowledge directly influenced attitudes (β=0.91, P<0.001) and practices (β=0.14, P=0.002), with an indirect influence on practices (β=0.28, P<0.001). Attitudes directly influenced practices (β=0.30, P<0.001). Conclusion: The study found that health sciences students exhibited moderate knowledge, a positive attitude, and moderate practices concerning chronic pain in older adults. Targeted educational interventions on this topic are essential in the training curriculum for future healthcare providers.
