Educational Workshop to Improve Pediatric Nurses' Knowledge, Attitudes, Practices, and Support for Healthcare-Acquired Infections in Palestine: A Quasi-Experimental Study.
Article in SAGE open nursing. 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
Background: Healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs) remain a significant cause of preventable morbidity and mortality in pediatric care, particularly in low-resource and conflict-affected settings such as Palestine. Pediatric nurses play a critical role in infection prevention and control (IPC); however, deficiencies in knowledge, attitudes, practices (KAP), and perceived institutional support may undermine effective HAI prevention. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured educational workshop in improving pediatric nurses' KAP, and perceptions of institutional support related to HAI prevention. Methods: A one-group pre-post quasi-experimental design was conducted in 2024 at a specialized pediatric hospital in Palestine. A total of 54 pediatric nurses participated in a two-week educational workshop comprising four interactive sessions focused on core IPC principles. Data were collected using a validated self-administered questionnaire assessing KAP and perceived institutional support. Paired-sample Results: Statistically significant improvements were observed across all outcome domains following the intervention ( Conclusion: The structured, context-specific educational workshop significantly improved pediatric nurses' IPC-related competencies and perceptions of institutional support. Integrating continuous professional education with organizational engagement is essential for strengthening HAI prevention in pediatric settings within resource-constrained healthcare systems.
