Development, implementation and short-term impact of capacity building workshops on nurturing care for paediatricians across India: a triphasic mixed-methods study.

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
backgroundThe Nurturing Care Framework (NCF) is a comprehensive approach that enhances early childhood development (ECD). Due to the paucity of personnel skilled in nurturing care for ECD (NC-ECD), Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP) developed IAP-NURTURE (NC-ECD) aimed at training paediatricians to incorporate nurturing care into office practice. A systems approach was employed: needs assessment; development of resources and training strategy; implementation of 200 workshops across India (2022-2024), and; impact evaluation. The study objectives were to (a) document the context of IAP NURTURE (NC-ECD); (b) assess trainee capacity enhancement and (c) identify challenges and suggestions for improvement.
methodsA triphasic mixed-methods study was conducted based on the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation- Maintenance) framework. The study population included organisers, trainers and trainees, recruited by purposive sampling. Phase 1 (qualitative) used key informant interviews (KIIs) of organisers to understand context. Phase 2 focused on participants' training. In the quantitative component, workshop documents and online survey findings were reviewed. The qualitative component included in-depth interviews (IDIs) of trainees. Phase 3 (qualitative) employed focused group discussions (FGDs) of trainers. Data management included descriptive statistics (quantitative) and Braun and Clarke's methodology for thematic analysis (qualitative). Data integration identified areas of convergence, complementarity and expansion.
resultsIAP NURTURE (NC-ECD) trained 7047 paediatricians. Data was retrieved from: 9 KII (phase 1); 4155 (58.9%) pretests, 2596 (36.8%) post-tests, 1506 (21.3%) feedback forms, 205 (5%) online survey respondents, and 18 (36.7%) IDIs (phase 2) and 15 FGDs (phase 3). Data integration indicates IAP NURTURE (NC-ECD) had a positive impact on the trainees: high satisfaction with training and resources provided; helpful in practice (skill enhancement, involving staff, using well-child visit schedule), and; receiving positive feedback from clientele. Challenges and solutions were identified.
conclusionsThe IAP NURTURE (NC - ECD) model (based on systems approach, NCF strategic actions and principles of adult learning) and lessons learnt from this study can guide development of similar capacity building initiatives.
