First aid educational needs among nursing officers in military primary clinics: a mixed-methods study.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
backgroundEvidence regarding the first aid duties and educational needs of nursing officers in military primary healthcare facilities is limited. We aimed to develop a comprehensive first aid task inventory for nursing officers in such primary military clinics and to identify educational priorities using multiple analytic approaches.
methodsA cross-sectional mixed-methods design was employed. Nursing officer communities at primary military clinics across South Korea were targeted; 11 nursing officers participated in focus group interviews and 47 completed a nationwide survey. A multi-step process was conducted from August to December 2024, comprising a literature review, secondary data analysis of 939,530 emergency room visits from the Defense Medical Statistics Information System (2013-2022), focus group interviews, and a nationwide survey. Educational needs were assessed using both importance-performance analysis and the Borich needs assessment model.
resultsA total of 79 first aid tasks were identified, including 62 direct nursing and 17 emergency management duties. Both the importance-performance analysis and Borich needs assessment consistently prioritised 16 tasks, while seven additional tasks were prioritised by only one method-either importance-performance or Borich. High-priority tasks included caring for brain injury, chest injury, intraperitoneal organ injury, neural and spinal cord injury, crush injury, airway haemorrhage, inhalation burn, shock, blast and penetrating injuries, suicidal ideation and self-harm, and drowning.
conclusionsThis study provides the first systematic evidence on first aid duties and educational needs of nursing officers in primary military clinics in South Korea. The findings highlight the need for structured, military-contextualised continuing education programmes. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
