Longitudinal Assessment of Cultural Competencies in Nursing Education: Insights From Students and Nurse Educators.
Observational study in Nursing open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimThis study aims to evaluate the cultural competencies of undergraduate nursing students and nurse educators and identify associated factors.
designObservational, descriptive, longitudinal study conducted in Malta.
methodOnline questionnaires, based on the Cultural Competence Assessment Scale measuring self-perceived competence and reflections on international experiences, were administered to students during each of the 3 years of an undergraduate nursing programme and once to nurse educators. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied to examine cultural competence levels and their associations with demographic and experiential factors.
resultsA total of 43, 38 and 34 students participated across the three programme years, respectively, alongside 19 nurse educators (response rates: 51.8% and 70.4%, respectively). Third-year students demonstrated very good cultural competence with a mean score of 78.24 (out of 100), while educators recorded a slightly lower mean of 73.26. Leisure time abroad before higher education significantly influenced cultural awareness in both first- and third-year students, while age was positively correlated with cultural awareness among final-year students. For educators, doctoral qualifications were associated with higher cultural awareness, and greater teaching experience correlated with more competent behaviours. Cultural competence improved progressively across the programme, suggesting clinical exposure and maturity play important roles. The inclusion of educators provided a broader perspective, showing that while awareness was strong, behaviour-based competencies require further support. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Developing cultural competence is expected to improve patient care, safety and communication in increasingly diverse healthcare contexts.
