Development of Hearing Information Booklet for Dementia Healthcare Professionals.
Article in Journal of audiology & otology, 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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesAge-related hearing loss is a key risk factor for dementia; however, community healthcare professionals often lack training in hearing care for people with dementia. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the Hearing Guidelines of Unified Information for Dementia Experts (H-GUIDE), an educational booklet designed to improve hearing-related knowledge and practices in dementia care. Subjects and.
methodsThe H-GUIDE consists of five sections: Hearing Loss and Dementia, Hearing Screening Tests, Introduction of Hearing Aids, Use of Hearing Aids, and Maintenance of Hearing Aids. Participants were 71 long-term care workers, including facility managers and healthcare professionals. The Knowledge Attitude Practice (KAP), Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and Hearing Aid Knowledge Inventory (HAKI) questionnaires were applied before, after, and two months after the educational intervention.
resultsParticipants showed significant improvements in hearing-related knowledge, practice, and intention to use the H-GUIDE post intervention. These effects were sustained during the two-month follow-up. The HAKI scores increased significantly post-test and remained stable over time.
conclusionsThe H-GUIDE was validated as an effective and user-friendly educational tool that enhances hearing care competency among dementia healthcare professionals; it also supports early detection and management of hearing problems.
