Self-assessed vs. reported digital competence among health students in Germany, Ukraine and Kazakhstan: a DigComp 2.2-based cross-sectional study.

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
Introduction: Digital competence is essential for students and professionals in health and nursing education. Based on the DigComp 2.2 framework, this study examines the self-assessed digital competencies of students from Germany, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan across five core dimensions, aiming to identify national differences and potential misalignments between perceived and reported digital competences. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey ( Results: While all groups reported generally high digital competence, German students rated themselves significantly lower in the Digital content creation dimension compared to their peers and the KaWuM reference sample. However, their responses to the open-ended question revealed methodologically advanced search strategies, including systematic literature reviews ( Discussion: The findings suggest a mismatch between self-assessed and actual digital competence, particularly among German students, who may underestimate their skills. This highlights the importance of triangulating quantitative self-reports with qualitative diagnostics. The study underscores the need for embedded digital skills training, especially in Digital content creation, across national contexts in health education.
