Training requirements and associated factors for nursing assistants in Jiaxing City, China: a cross-sectional study in healthcare settings.

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
Background: The aim of this study is to systematically evaluate the training requirements of nursing assistants in clinical settings and to identify influencing factors, with the objective of developing a training requirements model to inform the design of evidence-based training programs. Methods: A cross-sectional design was implemented using stratified sampling across 48 healthcare institutions in Jiaxing City. A total of 1,600 questionnaires were distributed to nursing assistants, yielding 1,470 valid responses (valid response rate: 91.9%). Descriptive statistics, chi-square (χ Results: High training coverage was observed for both pre-employment (92.6%) and on-the-job (87.0%) programs; however, the reported training durations were relatively brief. Instruction was primarily delivered via in-hospital lectures and traditional mentorship models. Key barriers to training participation included scheduling conflicts, technological limitations, and inadequate practical content. A substantial proportion (78.4%) of respondents indicated interest in retraining. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that nursing assistants with longer work experience or those employed through labor dispatch or hired directly by families exhibited lower training requirements. In contrast, higher training requirements were identified among those working under one-on-one or one-to-many care models, and among those who had previously received on-the-job training (all Conclusion: Despite high overall training coverage, several limitations were identified, including brief training durations, limited instructional diversity, and underutilization of digital platforms. Enhancing the practical relevance of training content, incorporating blended learning approaches that combine online and in-person methods, and optimizing both training frequency and duration are recommended to improve engagement and training outcomes among nursing assistants.
