Construction and practice of a certification system for clinical nursing preceptors: a " license to teach" approach in China.

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
backgroundClinical nursing preceptors play a vital role in bridging the gap between classroom learning and clinical practice. However, inconsistent qualification standards and a lack of systematic evaluation often lead to variability in teaching quality.
objectiveTo describe the development and implementation of a “license to teach” certification system for lead clinical nursing preceptors and to evaluate its impact on teaching quality and faculty development.
methodsBased on the Clinical Nursing Teaching Management Standards (2021), a set of eligibility criteria was established regarding academic background, clinical experience, and professional titles. The certification process consisted of three components: (1) theoretical teaching, (2) skills demonstration, and (3) clinical teaching ward rounds. Candidates were evaluated by expert panels using standardized rubrics. A structured questionnaire was administered to collect participants' feedback on the certification system.
resultsOf 193 candidates, 152 were certified (78.6%), reporting improved teaching preparedness, theory–practice integration, and professional recognition. Questionnaire responses (n = 145) showed high satisfaction (mean > 4.7/5; Cronbach’s α = 0.936; KMO = 0.861), reflecting enhanced teaching skills and standardized practices. Nursing interns (n = 201) reported 94–96% satisfaction, and interviews with four department managers confirmed benefits for teaching standardization and professional motivation.
conclusionThe “license to teach” system represents an innovative approach to standardizing the qualification and evaluation of clinical nursing preceptors. This model enhances teaching quality and provides a framework that can be adapted in other nursing education contexts.
