1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

aimThis study aims to explore the relationship between work environment, job characteristics and person-centred care for people with dementia in nursing homes.

backgroundPerson-centred care approaches have become a dominant indicator for good quality of care in nursing homes. Little is known about the relationship between work environment, job characteristics and person-centred care in nursing homes. METHOD(S): Cross-sectional data from the LAD study were used. Direct care staff (n = 552) of nursing homes (n = 49) filled an online questionnaire about work environment characteristics and person-centred care. To examine relationships, multilevel linear regression analyses were conducted.

resultsAssociations were found between a higher transformational leadership style, less social support from a leader, a higher unity in philosophy of care, higher levels of work satisfaction, more development opportunities, better experienced teamwork and staff-reported person-centred care. CONCLUSION(S): In a complex nursing home environment, person-centred care is influenced by organisational and work characteristics, shared values and interpersonal relationships. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Leaders may consider facilitating collaboration and creating unity between care staff, clients and family members in order to provide person-centred care. Therefore, a transformational leadership style, educational programmes and coaching for leaders are recommended.
