Readiness for self-directed learning among paramedic students in Jordan: A multi-institutional study.
Article in BMC medical education, 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
backgroundSelf-directed learning has been considered as an effective training method for students and professionals in the healthcare setting. This study aims to assess the level of self-directed learning readiness among paramedic students in Jordan and identify any associated factors.
methodsThis cross-sectional descriptive study utilized an online self-administered questionnaire. The study was conducted across three academic institutions in Jordan offering paramedic programs. A sample of paramedic students was assessed using the Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale. All enrolled paramedic students at the three institutions were included as potential participants. Differences between group means were analyzed using a Student's t-test and one-way analysis of variance, as appropriate.
resultsA total of 529 participants completed the questionnaire. The majority of participants were male (56.1%) with a mean age of 21.2 (SD ± 2.96). The overall mean score of the scale was 141.9 (SD ± 35.5) and a total of 302 (57.1%) participants had a high level of self-directed learning readiness (score > 150). Students with a high level of self-directed learning readiness were more likely to be male (p = 0.039) and have high academic performance levels (p = 0.006).
conclusionsThis study found that, although most participants achieved a high level of self-directed learning readiness, the overall mean score was among the lowest in the reported literature. Therefore, it is essential to develop improvement plans to encourage and enhance self-directed learning skills for both students and faculty members.
