A systematic review of the qualitative literature on older individuals' experiences of care and well-being during physical rehabilitation for acquired brain injury.
Synthesis in Journal of advanced nursing, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimsTo acquire an in-depth understanding of how older individuals diagnosed with acquired brain injury (ABI) experience their well-being and care when undergoing physical rehabilitation.
designSystematic literature review. DATA SOURCES: The electronic databases of PubMed, CINAHL, APA PsycInfo, ASSIA and SCOPUS were searched from 2005 to 2020. Extensive reference checking was also conducted. REVIEW
methodsA systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, including predominantly qualitative studies. Studies' quality was appraised using the critical apraisal skills programme (CASP) tool.
resultsSeventeen studies met the inclusion criteria. Following methods of thematic synthesis, four overarching interpretive themes were identified: (a) Rehabilitation processes and their impact on older individuals' well-being; (b) Identity and embodiment concerns of older individuals during rehabilitation; (c) Institutional factors affecting older individuals' care and well-being experiences; and (d) Older individuals' participation in creative activities as part of rehabilitation.
conclusionOrganizational and structural care deficiencies as well as health disparities can adversely impact older individuals' autonomous decision-making and goal-setting potentials. The discrepancy between older individuals' expectations and the reality of returning home along with the illusionary wish to return to a perceived normality, can further negatively affect older individuals' sense of well-being. Constructive communication, emotional support, family involvement in rehabilitation and creating a stimulating, enriching social environment can humanize and facilitate older individuals' adjustment to their new reality following ABI. IMPACT: There is a lack of qualitative research on older individuals' ABI rehabilitation experiences, especially traumatic brain injury incidents. Further study should consider patients' concerns over their involvement in decision-making and goal setting about their care. Overall, this review reveals the need to examine further the significance of humanizing care and the factors that affect older individuals' sense of well-being.
