Clinician distress in seriously ill patient care: A dimensional analysis.
Article in Nursing ethics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundCaring for patients with serious illness may severely strain clinicians causing distress and probable poor patient outcomes. Unfortunately, clinician distress and its impact historically has received little attention. RESEARCH PURPOSE: The purpose of this article was to investigate the nature of clinician distress. RESEARCH
designQualitative inductive dimensional analysis. PARTICIPANTS AND RESEARCH CONTEXT: After review of 577 articles from health sciences databases, a total of 33 articles were eligible for analysis. ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS: This study did not require ethical review and the authors adhered to appropriate academic standards in their analysis.
findingsA narrative of clinician distress in the hospital clinician in the United States emerged from the analysis. This included clinicians' DISCUSSION: This study adds three unique contributions to the concept of clinician distress by (1) including the emotional aspects of caring for seriously ill patients, (2) providing a new framework for understanding clinician distress within the clinician's own perceptions, and (3) looking at action outside of a purely moral lens by dimensionalizing data, thereby pulling apart what has been socially constructed.
conclusionFor clinicians, learning to recognize one's perceptions and emotional reactions is the first step in mitigating distress. There is a critical need to understand the full scope of clinician distress and its impact on the quality of patient-centered care in serious illness.
