Baccalaureate Nursing Education Related to Ageing and the Care of Older People: A Scoping Review.
Article in International journal of older people nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundAlthough educators are working to improve gerontological content in baccalaureate nursing programmes to keep pace with changing population demographics, it is unclear what types of educational interventions are occurring.
aimThe aim of this scoping review was to map baccalaureate nursing educational interventions related to ageing and the care of older people.
methodsA search was conducted in six databases. Databases searched were CINAHL, Medline, EMBASE, Education Resources Information Centre (ERIC), Scopus, Education Database and Education Research Complete for articles published between January 2013 and June 2023. Sixty-five articles met all inclusion criteria. Data were extracted on year, country, characteristics of interventions, methodological approach, evaluation, analysis and outcomes. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool was used to assess quality. Analysis included descriptive frequencies and directed content analysis.
resultsWe examined the patterns of publication, research methodologies, quality, education types and types of outcomes used. We noted an increase in research in the past 10 years examining gerontological education and an increase in the use of simulation, e-learning and community clinical placements. Most studies were descriptive, with only four randomised controlled trials.
conclusionThis review found improvement in the overall quality of reporting. Studies examining knowledge and skill have increased. There is heterogeneity in tools used to evaluate quantitative outcomes, and an increase in e-learning, simulation and clinical placements in community settings. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Stronger measures are warranted to ensure gerontological education is included throughout nursing education programmes. Education innovations must be spread to improve preparation of nursing graduates.
