Enhancing comprehensive clinical competence in nursing students through intensive diabetes management training: A mixed-methods study.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 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
backgroundDiabetes is a major global health challenge requiring specialized nursing care. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an intensive clinical practicum program in developing nursing students' clinical competence in diabetes management. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis convergent parallel mixed-methods study was conducted at Islamic Azad University, Najafabad Branch, in the first semester of 2024. A purposive sample of 50 fifth-semester nursing students who had completed relevant diabetes management theory courses was selected using purposive sampling. Data collection included pre- and postintervention performance assessments using a 31-item tool, self-report questionnaires with open-ended questions, and daily reflective journals. Quantitative data were analyzed using paired
resultsThe results demonstrated a statistically significant impact of the intensive diabetes management training program on improving students' clinical competence. The mean scores in all dimensions, including theoretical knowledge (a 50% increase), clinical skills, communication, and critical thinking, improved significantly (
conclusionThis study demonstrates that intensive clinical practicums effectively develop nursing students' diabetes management competence. Health policymakers should prioritize funding for these programs, given their potential to improve the quality of diabetes care and reduce long-term healthcare costs. Nursing managers should collaborate with educators to provide structured clinical experiences and mentorship opportunities. Standardizing program curricula based on best practices will ensure consistent and high-quality training, ultimately enhancing public health outcomes.
