Continuing Education Needs of Occupational Health Nurses in the Mining Industry: Implications for Public Health Nursing Workforce Development.
Article in Public health nursing (Boston, Mass.). 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
objectivesThis study aims to (1) explore the job duties of nurses working in the mining sector, (2) identify the competencies they require to perform their roles effectively, and (3) examine organizational factors that influence their ability to provide occupational and public health services in the Indonesian mining industry. DESIGN AND
methodsAn exploratory descriptive qualitative study was conducted using semi-structured focus group interviews to investigate the participants' experiences and expectations regarding their roles and educational needs within the mining industry. SAMPLE: Occupational health nurses (OHNs) (n = 20) working in Indonesian mining sector representing different professional categories participated in semi‑structured focus group discussions (FGDs).
resultsThe analysis produced three overarching categories: (1) diverse public health roles and responsibilities in mining by OHNs, (2) obstacles and challenges experienced in delivering occupational health services, and (3) emerging competencies required to support workplace health and organizational productivity. Twelve themes were identified across these categories, highlighting substantial gaps between current practice demands and available educational opportunities.
conclusionThis study demonstrates that OHNs in the mining sector have expanded public health roles that often exceed their current training and routine duties. Strengthening continuing nursing education supported by the development of a formal occupational health nursing (OHN) curriculum is urgently needed to build workforce capacity. Structured education and training models, delivered through both formal and nonformal formats, should focus on communication, health data management and reporting, counseling, managerial negotiation, and interprofessional collaboration. Enhancing these competencies is vital for advancing public health nursing practice in occupational settings and improving health outcomes and productivity among mining workers.
