Effect of Contextualized Competency-Based Clinical Skills Training on Nurses' Performance in a Private Hospital in Indonesia: 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
Introduction: Persistent gaps between nurses' educational preparation and clinical performance requirements represent a critical challenge in Indonesian hospital settings. Structured, contextualized training aligned with local clinical demands may offer a practical approach to addressing these gaps and improving nursing workforce performance. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of a Contextualized Competency-Based Clinical Skills Training program delivered via a pitstop, rotating-station method on nurses' clinical performance in a private hospital in Pekanbaru, Indonesia. Methods: A quasi-experimental two-group pretest-posttest design was employed from October to December 2025. Using proportionate stratified random sampling, 72 nurses were allocated to an intervention group (n = 36) or a control group (n = 36). The intervention was a 12-hour training across six rotating skills stations covering clinical communication, patient safety, documentation, medication safety, and professionalism. Performance was measured using a self-reported, validated 24-item Nurse Performance Questionnaire (Cronbach's α = 0.973). Within-group changes were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, between-group posttest comparison using the Mann-Whitney U test, and adjusted between-group effects using ANCOVA, with a fully adjusted model controlling for pretest score, age, work experience, and clinical career level. Results: The intervention group showed a significant within-group increase from 81.00 (SD = 10.29) to 88.17 (SD = 6.61) (Z = -3.63, p < 0.001, r = 0.62); the control group did not (86.19 to 88.06; Z = -1.64, p = 0.100). Mann-Whitney U at posttest was non-significant (U = 673.0, p = 0.776). The fully adjusted ANCOVA showed no significant group effect (F = 0.002, p = 0.964, partial η Conclusion: In this quasi-experimental study, the training did not demonstrate a statistically significant effect on nurses' clinical performance after adjustment. Larger randomized studies with objective measures and longer follow-up are needed.
