Becoming Culturally Competent: Transformative Learning in an International, Interprofessional Nursing Placement.
Article in Global qualitative nursing research. 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
Research indicates that cultural competence is lacking among registered nurses, and nurses commonly report feeling ill-equipped to care for culturally diverse patients. This qualitative study employed a blended methodological approach informed by narrative inquiry and participatory action research to explore undergraduate nursing students' development of cultural competence during an international, interprofessional clinical placement. Ten undergraduate nursing students completed a 3-week clinical placement in partnership with preservice teachers from the Faculty of Education. Aligned with participatory action research commitments to democratizing knowledge production, students were engaged as co-authors across multiple stages of the study. This approach recognized students as knowledge holders whose experiential insights shaped the analytic process. Data were generated through semi-structured interviews, and reflexive thematic analysis was undertaken iteratively, emphasizing the co-construction of themes. Five themes were generated: (1) opportunities for personal growth, (2) relationship building to facilitate collaboration, (3) interprofessional teamwork and leadership skills, (4) cultural competence development through immersion, and (5) shifting mindsets and learning from resource-limited settings. Findings underscore how structured reflection and debriefing can deepen equity-oriented learning by enabling students to critically examine assumptions, power, and privilege. These insights support the integration of international and interprofessional placements, alongside reflective pedagogy, into undergraduate nursing curricula.
