Effect of Training Program on Evidence-Based Practice Competencies in Hospital Nurses in Taiwan: A Quasi-Experimental Study.
Article in The journal of nursing research : JNR, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundEvidence-based practice has been shown to improve the quality and efficiency of health care. However, more than 58% of nurses in Taiwan have no evidence-based-practice-related training program experience. PURPOSE: This study was designed to establish a training program to improve the evidence-based practice competencies among currently practicing clinical nurses.
methodsA pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study was conducted on a sample of 80 clinical nurses aged 20 and above. The sample was distinguished into exposure (training program) and control groups. The Health Sciences-Evidence-Based Practice questionnaire was used to measure targeted outcomes before and after the training program. IBM SPSS version 20.0 was used to perform k-means cluster analysis, with p values <.05 considered statistically significant.
resultsAfter the training program intervention, statistically significant between-group differences were found in the five domains of evidence-based practice, including belief attitudes, results of scientific research, development of professional practice, results assessment, and barriers-facilitators for evidence-based practice. The k-means of cluster analysis resulted in the regrouping of the exposure group with the EBP program as exposure A ( n =20) and exposure B ( n =20). Significant differences were observed for all five domains of the Health Sciences-Evidence-Based Practice among the three groups, with scores for the exposure A group consistently better than those for either the exposure B or control group, especially in the results of scientific research and results assessment domains.
conclusionsThe 40-hour evidence-based practice training program is an effective program for improving evidence-based practice competencies in health care professionals. This training program may be applied as a tool to help clinical nurses correctly and effectively apply evidence-based practice in patient health care.
