The Promoting Healthy Sleep E-Learning Professional Development Program for Health Care Providers: Mixed Methods Usability Study.
Article in JMIR formative research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundApproximately one-third of Canadian children have insomnia or symptoms of insomnia, defined as chronic and frequent difficulties falling and/or staying asleep. Most health care providers (HCPs) in Canada do not receive comprehensive formal training in the screening, assessment, or management of pediatric insomnia.
objectiveThis study examined the perceived usability of an e-learning professional development program for HCPs, titled Promoting Healthy Sleep (PHS). The goal of this program is to provide accessible online sleep education to HCPs to help inform their screening, assessment, and treatment of pediatric insomnia in children aged 5 to 12 years.
methodsFor this usability study, 22 HCPs working in Canada were recruited from 4 groups (ie, physicians, psychologists, nurses, and allied health professionals), and they assessed the usability of the program using the UX Honeycomb framework from the end users' perspective. Questionnaires that evaluated program usability, satisfaction, and acceptability, as well as participants' sleep knowledge and sleep attitudes and beliefs, were administered.
resultsHCPs' sleep knowledge (P<.001), as well as their attitudes and beliefs (P=.02), significantly improved from before to after program completion. HCPs provided high satisfaction ratings and found the program to be highly usable (ratings of 80% or higher on all program usability and satisfaction questionnaires). They also provided minor suggestions about content that should be revised in the program, such as the need for additional resources and program content suggestions (eg, modifications to increase user-friendliness, program content suggestions, and adding additional resources for HCPs).
conclusionsStudy participants found the PHS program usable and were satisfied with the program content. Accessible HCP training will lead to better identification and treatment of insomnia in school-aged children, as HCPs will be better equipped and more knowledgeable about how to treat insomnia with the proper steps.
