Effectiveness of a 7E teaching model based on symptom management theory in new nurse induction training: a quasi-experimental study.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
backgroundNewly graduated nurses (NGNs) often lack dynamic symptom assessment and management skills, a core competency deficit that increases adverse event risks and transition shock. Traditional training methods frequently fail to bridge this theory-practice gap.
aimTo evaluate the effectiveness of a novel teaching model, integrating the 7E learning cycle with Symptom Management Theory (SMT), on the competencies and clinical outcomes of NGNs. STUDY
designA quasi-experimental design with pre-/post-test assessments at three time points (T0, T1, and T2) was employed. SETTINGS: A tertiary hospital in China.
participantsA total of 136 NGNs were included. Participants were assigned to an intervention group (n = 68) or a control group (n = 68).
methodsThe control group received traditional didactic and case-based training. The intervention group received the SMT-informed 7E teaching model. Outcomes were measured using the Competency Inventory for Registered Nurse (CIRN), Transition Shock Scale for NGNs (TSNGNS), Self-Rating Scale of Self-Directed Learning (SRSSDL), and the Nursing Mini-Clinical Evaluation Exercise (Nursing-Mini-CEX). Data were collected at baseline (T0), at 6-months (T1), and at 12-months (T2). Adverse event rates were analyzed using Interrupted Time Series (ITS).
resultsAt T1 and T2, the intervention group exhibited significantly higher scores in core competency (p < 0.001), self-directed learning ability (p < 0.001), and objective clinical practice (Nursing-Mini-CEX, p < 0.001) compared to the control group. Lower levels of transition shock were also observed in the intervention group (p < 0.001). Furthermore, the ITS analysis indicated a significant reduction in the adverse event rate following the hospital-wide implementation of the intervention (β = −0.114, p = 0.006).
conclusionsThe SMT-informed 7E teaching model is a highly effective strategy for new nurse induction. It significantly enhances clinical competencies, improves self-directed learning, mitigates transition shock, and improves patient safety by reducing adverse events. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
