1 · What the graph read from it

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.

Abstract

Background: Nurses' skills, knowledge, practice, motivation, and work engagement are crucial for achieving better outcomes in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Evidence-based in-service training and monitoring of nurses' behavior can significantly enhance the quality of care for ICU patients. This study evaluates the effectiveness of an Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) training and mentoring system in improving ICU nurses' competencies including skills, knowledge, clinical practices, motivation and work engagement for preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in a tertiary hospital in Bangladesh. Methods: A quasi-experimental pre- and post-intervention study was conducted from October 2024 to April 2025 in the ICU of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH) in Bangladesh. We provided a competency-based educational program to nurses who worked in the ICU, focused on EBP for VAP prevention, with mentoring support from trained mentors. Mentors were the nurses who received EBP training on VAP prevention from the research team prior to the intervention. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. The changes in nurses' skills, knowledge, practice, motivation and work engagement were assessed using validated scales before and after the EBP training and implementation of EBP. Higher scores of the scales indicate better outcomes. Results: The results showed significant improvements in nurses' skills, knowledge, practice, motivation and work engagement following EBP training (all, Conclusion: A structured EBP training program and mentoring system significantly enhanced ICU nurses' competency (skills, knowledge, practice, motivation and work engagement) in EBP. The study highlights the importance of professional development, ongoing monitoring, and motivational strategies to support behavioral changes among nurses in low-resource settings. Clinical trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT06624540.
