Effectiveness of a Web-Based Communication Education Program in Improving Knowledge and Self-Efficacy in Family Caregivers of Nursing Home Residents: A Quasi-Experimental 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
backgroundEffective communication between family members and nursing home residents is vital. However, limited research has been conducted, especially in Asia, regarding the effectiveness of web-based communication programs in improving the communication efficacy of family members of nursing home residents. PURPOSE: In this quasi-experimental study, the effectiveness of a 4-week, nurse-led web-based communication education program (WBCEP) was evaluated in terms of improving the communication skills-related knowledge and self-efficacy of the family members of nursing home residents.
methodsA total of 68 family members of older adult residents of medium-sized facilities (30 < n < 90) were enrolled as participants. The experimental group ( n = 34) participated i n the WBCEP, while the control group ( n = 34) did not. Data were collected at baseline and at 1 and 2 months after baseline. Generalized estimating equations were used to analyze the longitudinal effectiveness of the program.
resultsThe experimental group improved significantly more in both communication skills knowledge and self-efficacy scores, including lagged effects, than the control group. Moreover, the experimental group reported high levels of learning satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS/IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: The innovative nurse-led WBCEP implemented in this study was shown to be effective in enhancing communication skills knowledge and self-efficacy in family members of nursing home residents, contributing to overall efforts to improve family-centered care.
