Knowledge, attitude, and practice toward fall risk-increasing drugs among nurses: a cross-sectional survey.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. 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
Introduction: Fall risk-increasing drugs (FRIDs) are a main risk factor for falls and fall-related injuries, particularly among inpatients. Nurses play a critical role in reducing fall risks and managing FRIDs within healthcare settings. In this study, we aimed to assess nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding FRIDs and identify the influencing factors. Methods: Based on the KAP theoretical framework, we developed a structured questionnaire to evaluate FRID-related KAP among nurses. An online survey was conducted using this questionnaire across 31 hospitals in Guangdong Province, China, between December 2024 and February 2025. Statistical analyses were performed using IBM SPSS 26.0. Univariate analysis and ordinal logistic regression analysis with logit as the link function were used for identifying influencing factors. Spearman correlation analysis was used for assessing relationships among knowledge, attitude, and practice. Results: Of the 600 nurses invited to participate in this survey, 542 (90.3%) completed the valid questionnaires. The median scores of nurses' knowledge, attitude, and practice toward FRIDs were 56.0 [interquartile range (IQR): 47.0-67.0], 44.0 (IQR: 36.0-45.0) and 47.0 (IQR: 42.0-55.0), respectively. The training experience, department, and professional title were significant factors for nurses' knowledge. Attitude was positively influenced by the training experience and professional title. Practice was mainly influenced by the training experience. Nurses' knowledge was significantly associated with attitude ( Conclusion: Nurses demonstrated a moderate level of knowledge, positive attitude, and appropriate practices toward FRIDs. Training experience emerged as a consistent positive influencing factor across all three domains. Therefore, enhancing FRID-related training programs, through improved content design and incentive mechanisms, might effectively strengthen nurses' KAP and contribute to better fall-prevention outcomes.
