Prioritising Content for Continuing Education in Non-Invasive Ventilation Care: A Needs Assessment Survey of Intensive Care Unit Nurses.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 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
backgroundThe success of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) depends on bedside nursing judgement, yet nurses report insufficient preparation, and educational content is usually decided before the competencies nurses most need are identified.
objectivesTo prioritise NIV competencies, derived for this study from three clinical practice guidelines, by educational need, and, as secondary aims, describe intensive care unit nurses' perceived knowledge, self-efficacy and implementation climate for evidence-based practice and their correlates.
methodsA cross-sectional survey questionnaire was completed by 142 nurses in four intensive care units of a tertiary teaching hospital in the Republic of Korea in June and July 2026 (response rate 97.3%). Each of 35 competencies was rated for importance and present competency; priorities were derived by combining the Borich needs assessment with the Locus for Focus model, and their stability was examined by bootstrap resampling.
resultsItem means were 5.47 (SD 2.05) for perceived knowledge and 5.53 (SD 2.20) for self-efficacy on a 10-point scale and 1.81 (SD 0.78) for implementation climate on a 4-point scale. Perceived knowledge and self-efficacy were higher among nurses with experience of NIV care and previous NIV education, and these associations remained after adjustment. Length of intensive care experience was not independently associated with either variable, and neither was correlated with implementation climate. Importance exceeded present competency for all 35 items. Seven items were identified as priority candidates; ventilator waveform monitoring was the only item selected by both methods, but its classification was not stable across resamples.
conclusionsThe self-perceived priorities concentrated on monitoring and recognising treatment failure, competencies that require interpretation of changing physiological data. Needs assessment before programme design can inform the selection of content, provided that its self-report basis and the instability of items near classification thresholds are recognised.
