Evaluation of nursing snippet-based intervention on parents' burden and self-efficacy towards caring for their children undergoing limb lengthening surgery.
Article in BMC nursing, 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 intricacy of pin-site care and fixator modification makes caring for children having limb lengthening surgery extremely taxing on parents. Their self-efficacy, which is essential for positive postoperative results, is frequently lowered by this stress. Traditional teaching approaches might not be able to offer the ongoing assistance required to preserve caregiver confidence and lower stress levels.
aimTo examine the nursing microlearning (snippet-based) intervention on parents' burden and self-efficacy in caring for their children undergoing limb lengthening surgery.
methodsThe present study was carried out utilizing a one-group pretest-posttest research design.
settingThe present study was conducted at the inpatient pediatric surgical department, at Benha Specialized Pediatric Hospital in Benha city. STUDY SAMPLE: A purposive sample of 55 parents accompanying their children undergoing limb lengthening surgery. Study tools: Five tools were used for data collection, Tool I: A structured interviewing questionnaire. Tool II: Child medical data. Tool III: Parents' reported practices checklist. Tool IV: Caregiver Self-Efficacy Scale. Tool V: Burden interviewing questionnaire.
resultsSatisfactory knowledge increased from 16.4% pre-intervention to 87.3% post-intervention (p < 0.001), and competent practice increased from 21.8% to 89.1%. In addition, the proportion of parents with high self-efficacy increased from 10.4% to 41.7% (p < 0.001), while the proportion experiencing low parental burden decreased from 16.4% to 5.5%.
conclusionThe nursing snippet-based intervention may be associated with improvements in parents' knowledge, practice, and self-efficacy and reducing parental burden. Integrating microlearning into routine pediatric orthopedic discharge education may support continuity of care beyond the hospital setting. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
