Effects of clinical training on compliance with standard precautions among nursing students: a quasi-experimental 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
backgroundHealthcare-associated infections are a safety concern that continues to impact the quality of patient care. Standard precautions have a structure that determines the steps and conceptual framework to be followed within the scope of infection prevention and control practices. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of the clinical training process on nursing students' standard precautions compliance and attitudes.
methodsThis study employed a quasi-experimental, single-group pre-test post-test design and was conducted at the Faculty of Nursing at a public university. 234 baccalaureate nursing students were included in the study. Before and after clinical training in the Spring Semester of the 2023-2024 Academic Year, the Compliance with Standard Precautions Scale was utilized to assess self-reported standard precautions compliance, while the Factors Influencing Adherence to Standard Precautions Scale-Student Version was used to evaluate attitudes toward standard precautions objectively.
resultsOverall self-reported compliance increased from 69.04% to 72.96% after clinical training. In the FIASP-SV post-test, the mean "justification" score was significantly lower among 3rd -year students, whereas the mean "practice culture" score was significantly lower among 2nd -year students compared with the other class years. In the pre-test, a low-level positive correlation was observed between the total FIASP-SV and total CSPS scores (r = 0.164; p < 0.05).
conclusionsThe findings of this study highlight the importance of designing a clinical training program that provides students with opportunities to experience nursing skills and procedures that require strict adherence to standard precautions. Nursing academics must address strategies in the nursing curriculum that will enable nursing students to transfer knowledge of infection prevention and control practices to clinical education.
