Effects of '4P' Theory-Based Training on Innovative Capability in Clinical Nurses: A Pre-Post Study.
Article in Journal of nursing management, 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
objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of a structured innovation training program based on the '4P' theory (Person, Process, Press and Product) in enhancing the innovation capability of clinical nurses.
methodsWe conducted a 1-year training program with 122 nurses at The Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University. In this single-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental study, data were collected before and after the intervention using questionnaires and analysed with paired-sample t-tests.
resultsCompared to the pretraining period, the posttraining scores for innovation capability among all participants, including innovative person, innovative process and innovative press, showed a significant increase (p < 0.05), while no statistically significant difference was observed in the innovative product score (p < 0.05). Repeated measures analysis of variance revealed that the improvement in posttraining innovation capability scores was significantly greater in the high-efficiency innovation group (Δ = 8.10 ± 1.74) than in the proactive innovation group (Δ = 5.90 ± 3.29) (F = 21.309, p < 0.05). However, the improvement in posttraining innovative press scores was significantly higher in the proactive innovation group (Δ = 2.92 ± 5.23) compared to that in the high-efficiency innovation group (Δ = 0.46 ± 5.67) (F = 11.699, p < 0.05).
conclusionThis study demonstrates that an innovation training strategy based on the '4P' theory effectively enhances the innovation capability of clinical nurses. This is achieved by systematically stimulating individual innovative potential, providing methodological training, creating a supportive environment and promoting outcome translation, thereby validating the clinical applicability of this theory.
