Perceived Role Responsibility, Self-Efficacy, and Education Needs of School Nurses Providing Mental Health Services: A Nationwide Survey.
Article in The Journal of school health, 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
backgroundSchool nurses increasingly support student mental health, yet how perceived role responsibility and self-efficacy shape continuing education needs remains unclear.
methodsA nationwide cross-sectional online survey was conducted in Taiwan using probability proportional to size sampling. Among 658 selected school nurses, 305 responded (46.4%). A 33-item questionnaire assessed perceived role responsibility, self-efficacy, and continuing education needs across six competency domains. Multivariable linear regression identified predictors.
resultsMost nurses lacked prior psychiatric/psychology work experience (74.4%). Perceived role responsibility and self-efficacy were highest for referral/resource mapping and crisis response/safety assessment, and lowest for psychotropic medication management/monitoring. Continuing education needs were high, particularly for crisis response/safety assessment and identification/assessment. Perceived role responsibility was the only significant predictor of continuing education needs, explaining 29.4% of the variance. IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL HEALTH POLICY, PRACTICE, AND EQUITY: Training should prioritize role-focused interventions and standardized protocols for crisis response/safety assessment and identification/assessment, with clear medication-related coordination guidance to reduce role ambiguity.
conclusionsSchool nurses' perceived role responsibility drives continuing education needs; training should strengthen role clarity alongside skills.
