Knowledge and attitude of nursing students toward caring for children with disabilities.
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
introductionStudies have shown a lack of knowledge among nursing students toward children with disabilities. Further research is needed to assess nursing students’ attitudes toward children with disabilities.
aimThis study aimed to assess nursing students’ knowledge and attitudes toward caring for children with disabilities.
methodsA quantitative, cross-sectional design was employed using an online questionnaire administered to nursing students at a public university.
resultsA total of 200 nursing students participated in this study. The mean knowledge score was 8.1 ± 3.2, indicating a moderate level of knowledge. Younger students (18–23 years) had significantly higher knowledge scores than older students (p < 0.05). Attitudes toward caring for children with disabilities were highly positive, with an overall mean score of 4.06 ± 0.54. Male students reported significantly more positive attitudes than female students (p < 0.05).
conclusionThis study suggested associations between some demographic characteristics and nursing students’ attitudes toward and knowledge of caring for children with impairments; however, these results should be interpreted with caution due to the study’s limitations. The findings can be integrated into nursing programs, ultimately improving the quality of nursing care provided to children with disabilities.
