The effect of multimedia-based education on nurses' clinical capability in radiation protection in operating rooms: a randomized controlled study.

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
backgroundRadiation exposure is a significant occupational hazard for operating room nurses, yet their knowledge and practice of radiation protection are often inadequate. Enhancing nurses’ clinical capability in this area is crucial for safety and quality care. Multimedia-based education offers an effective, flexible approach to improve learning and adherence to safety protocols. This study aimed to determine the effect of multimedia-based education on nurses’ clinical capability in radiation protection in operating rooms.
methodsThis randomized controlled trial was conducted on 100 operating room nurses from two hospitals affiliated with Shiraz University of Medical Sciences between June and December 2024. Participants were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 50) and control (n = 50) groups. The intervention group received a two-week multimedia-based educational program on radiation protection via WhatsApp, while the control group received routine hospital training. Primary outcomes included clinical capability assessed through a validated questionnaire covering knowledge, attitude, performance, and personal commitment, measured at baseline, one month, and two months post-intervention.
resultsAfter the intervention, the intervention group showed significant improvements in all dimensions of clinical capability, including knowledge, attitude, performance, and personal commitment, compared to the control group. Clinical capability scores at one and two months post-intervention were significantly higher in the intervention group (all p < 0.001). The effect sizes ranged from 0.79 to 2.73, indicating large effects. ANCOVA analysis revealed a significant interaction between group and time (F = 32.8, p < 0.001), confirming that the improvements over time were greater in the intervention group than the control group after adjusting for baseline values.
conclusionTherefore, we recommend implementing multimedia-based education to enhance clinical capability in radiation protection among operating room nurses. TRAIL REGISTRATION NUMBER: Registration number IRCT20211129053216N1 on March 19, 2024 ( https://www.irct.ir ).
