Evaluation of the soft skills of nurses and health technicians: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 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
backgroundSoft skills are nontechnical competencies that play a crucial role in the healthcare industry. This study aims to evaluate the soft skills of nurses and healthcare technicians, along with the factors influencing these skills. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis cross-sectional study used a scale to assess the soft skills of 362 Moroccan nurses and healthcare technicians between October 2022 and January 2023. The analysis employed descriptive statistics, Kruskal-Wallis tests, Mann-Whitney tests, and Spearman's correlations. A predictive model was implemented to analyze the prediction of soft skills scores.
resultsThe participants had a satisfactory score in soft skills, especially teamwork, lifelong learning, and creativity. Moreover, there was a significant relationship between the soft skills score and sex, academic level, and training in soft skills. However, no significant correlation was observed between age and experience. Furthermore, a significant correlation was observed between the participants' experiences and their communication, decision-making, teamwork, and age. The multivariate analyses showed that higher soft skills scores were associated with sex (adjusted odds ratio = 0.74 [0.01-1.48]), having a master's degree (adjusted odds ratio = 1.56 [0.35-3.48]), and soft skills training (adjusted odds ratio = 1.15 [0.08-2.21]).
conclusionThe participants had satisfactory soft skills scores, and there was a significant correlation between these skills and factors such as sex, academic level, and training in soft skills. We recommend conducting additional studies involving various healthcare professionals across different regions to enhance the generalizability and reliability of our results.
