An educational program for enhancing cultural competence and cultural self-efficacy in healthcare providers: a quasi-experimental single-group study in Southern Iran.
Article in BMC medical education, 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
backgroundThe surge in international exchanges and immigration has significantly increased the demand for culturally competent healthcare providers.
aimThis study aimed to evaluate the impact of a cultural care training program on the cultural competency and self-efficacy of healthcare providers in Jiroft, Iran.
methodsThis quasi-experimental study was conducted using a pretest-posttest design but with no control group. Sixty-five eligible participants were selected through a convenience sampling. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Cultural Care Inventory, and the Cultural Self-Efficacy Scale (CSES) before and after a cultural care training program during four 2-hour sessions per week. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 20, including the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and paired t-test.
resultsThe total mean cultural competency score significantly increased from 89.05 ± 12.30 to 217.16 ± 12.09. Similarly, the total mean cultural self-efficacy score rose significantly from 83.53 ± 4.95 to 105.7 ± 7.24. Paired t-test indicated a statistically significant difference in cultural competence (p = 0.001, t= -65.99) and cultural self-efficacy scores (p = 0.001, t = -47.03).
conclusionsThe results of this study suggest that implementing various training programs can effectively enhance the cultural competency and self-efficacy of healthcare providers.
