Evaluation of a program to increase nurses' motivation for psychiatric visiting care: a pilot study.
Article in BMC medical education, 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
backgroundIn Japan, the number of visiting nursing cases where the community life of mentally disabled persons is supported (psychiatric visiting care) increased. However Many visiting nurses working in the stations have practical difficulties due to their lack of nursing experience in psychiatry, and it has also been reported that visiting nurses may lose confidence because their activities are invisible and less likely to be evaluated fairly and their nursing interventions bring only marginal changes to mentally disabled persons. To develop and provide a training program to increase nurses’ motivation for psychiatric visiting care activities (the program), and to evaluate its usefulness.
methodsThe subjects of this study were 39 visiting nurses belonging to stations located in two prefectures. The program was executed as a short intensive seminar completed in 180 min in a day and consisted of two parts, that is, a feedback seminar that conveyed the results of a fact-finding survey of mentally disabled persons as users of visiting nursing and an interactive workshop that provided an opportunity for participants to exchange information and talk about their ideals with each other. In addition to basic information, quantitative data on motivation collected before and after the program and qualitative data collected after the program were investigated. Quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed by Wilcoxon’s signed-rank test and qualitative inductive analysis, respectively.
resultsWhile there were no significant changes in scores on the scale measuring visiting nurses’ work motivation, the total score for the achievement motivation scale and the score for desire for personal achievement as a subscale improved significantly after the training workshop (p < .05). The qualitative data revealed that the participants figured out the user needs and the diversity of visiting nursing through the program, which allowed them to gain confidence and pride in their psychiatric visiting care activities.
conclusionThis program has the potential to become a practical continuing education method to increase the motivation of nurses who engage in psychiatric visiting care.
