Development and Validation of a Culturally Competent Care Module and Its Effect on Nurses' Cultural Competence and Patient Satisfaction: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial in a Tertiary Care Hospital in India.
Trial report in JMIR research protocols, 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
backgroundCulturally responsive nursing involves delivering care that respects and reflects patients' cultural values, communication patterns, and belief systems. In the Indian context, increasing rural-to-urban migration along with the expansion of medical tourism, estimated to have attracted 2.1 million international patients in 2024, has intensified the need for culturally competent nursing care. Although educational interventions in this area have shown encouraging results, there remains a lack of well-designed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in India. For the purpose of this study, structured training is understood as a planned, session-based approach to learning that includes activities such as simulation exercises, case-based discussions, and guided reflection.
objectiveThis study aims to develop, validate, and evaluate a culturally competent care module (CCCM) through a 3-phase RCT, assessing its effects on nurses' cultural competence and patient satisfaction.
methodsThis 3-phase parallel-group RCT is being conducted in the medical-surgical wards of the Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital, Wardha, Maharashtra, India (2024-2026). In phase 1 (completed), the CCCM was developed via thematic analysis of 20 interviews with nurses, educators, and patients. In phase 2 (completed), the CCCM and a patient satisfaction tool were validated using a 2-round Delphi process involving 15 experts (CCCM: content validity index ≥0.89; patient satisfaction tool: Cronbach α=0.87-0.92). Phase 3 is ongoing: 55 nurses are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the CCCM (5×1-hour sessions+boosters) or routine care. The primary outcome is the postintervention Cultural Competence Assessment Tool for Nurses score, while secondary outcomes include subscales, patient satisfaction, and 90-day retention. The sample size is calculated using G*Power based on an anticipated effect size of 0.82. Participants are randomly allocated through computer-generated block randomization stratified by seniority, and outcome assessors and data analysts are blinded to group allocation. Data will be analyzed using SPSS (intention-to-treat, linear mixed-effects models; P<.05). Patient satisfaction outcomes will be evaluated using data from 120 patients.
resultsPhases 1 and 2 were completed in July 2025. In phase 3, 110 (100%) nurses were successfully enrolled and randomized, with 55 participants assigned to each group. The intervention was delivered as planned, and postintervention data collection reached 70% completion. Additionally, of the planned 120 patients, 92 (77%) were enrolled for the patient satisfaction assessment. Full data analysis is expected to be completed by June 2026.
conclusionsThis trial will provide evidence on the CCCM's noninferiority or superiority to routine care for enhancing cultural competence and satisfaction, supporting scalable training amid India's demographic shifts.
