Improving nursing students' clinical experience with genetics: the influence of prior knowledge and leadership support through the Donabedian Model.
Article in BMC nursing, 2026. 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
backgroundAs advancements in genetics and genomics continue to evolve, nursing students need to be equipped with prior knowledge and academic leadership support (ALS) to interpret genetic information, educate patients, and participate in clinical decision-making. ALS is actions or behaviors by leaders to support, guide, and empower their students. The incorporation of genetics/genomics into the nursing curriculum has been recognized on a global scale.
aimTo evaluate the impact of nursing students’ prior knowledge of genetics/Genomics and genomics and academic leadership support on their clinical experience. METHOD AND
designA cross-sectional study was conducted among nursing students at xxxxx University College of Nursing, Saudi Arabia, between December 2024 and February 2025 (IRB# KSU-HE-24-1055). A total of 169 participants completed an online survey.
resultsMost participants were in their fourth year, internship year, or enrolled in postgraduate programs (BSN = 118; Master’s = 46; PhD = 3). The average age was 26.6 years (SD = 5.8), and more participants were female (58.5%) than male (41.5%). Male participants reported receiving higher levels of leadership support than their female counterparts did. ALS on clinical experience (p < 0.01); and prior knowledge (p < 0.008); R2 = 0.440 with large effect size = 0.78.
conclusionsIntegrating genetics and genomics education into the nursing curriculum is needed to meet today’s healthcare standards. Academic nursing leaders in educational settings play a key role in advancing nursing students’ curriculum thereby increasing their knowledge and preparedness for clinical practice. IMPLICATION FOR PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Educational settings that integrate nursing genetics and genomics courses into curricula and provide leadership support to students will improve their clinical experience and enhance patients’ care. IMPACT: What problem did the study address? ALS is a key driver of improving students’ clinical experience. What were the main findings? Male nursing students reported higher levels of leadership support than female nursing students highlighting the need for strategies that support equity and prevent disparities in educational settings on the basis of gender. Who will benefit? Nurse educators and nurse leaders could utilize these findings to improve educational environments. Nurses with up-to-date knowledge will benefit their patients’ outcomes by being better informed. REPORTING
