Exploring influencing factors on fall prevention intentions among nursing assistants: a qualitative study.

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
Objective: Guided by the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), this study explored key factors influencing fall prevention intentions among nursing assistants in Chinese tertiary hospitals. Methods: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted. Twenty nursing assistants from a tertiary hospital in China were recruited via purposive sampling. Semi-structured interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis, with reporting guided by the COREQ checklist. Results: Three core themes consistent with the TPB emerged: (1) Ambivalent behavioral attitudes, characterized by a disconnect between valuing fall prevention and assuming responsibility, and conditional proactivity; (2) Conflicted subjective norms, including situational compromises among institutional, family, and peer expectations, and a punitive feedback culture; (3) Limited perceived behavioral control, challenges in complex situations and structural resource constraints (time, equipment, support). Conclusion: Nursing assistants' fall prevention intentions are shaped jointly by ambivalent attitudes, conflicting norms, and limited control. Multi-level interventions empowering nursing assistants, fostering a constructive organizational culture, and optimizing resources are needed to enhance their intentions and translate policy into consistent bedside practice.
