Primary care staff's willingness to participate in compassionate community network and palliative care and the barriers they face: a mixed methods study.
Article in BMJ open, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesCompassionate community models, successfully applied in several Western countries, have not been extensively promoted in Asian countries. This study explored primary care staff's willingness to participate and factors associated with their participations in compassionate community education and network, palliative care education, providing palliative care and the barriers they faced.
methodsAdopting a mixed quantitative-qualitative design, primary care staffs in Beitou and Shilin districts in Taiwan, including physicians, nurses, pharmacists and administrative staff aged ≥20 years who had worked in a clinic for more than 2 months, were recruited. A questionnaire survey was conducted to explore their willingness to participate in compassionate community education and networks and palliative care education and care provision. Logistic regression was used to evaluate factors associated with their willingness, and qualitative perceptions were evaluated by open questions.
resultsAbout half of the respondents were willing to participate in compassionate community education and network and palliative care education, but only 19.5% were willing to provide palliative care. Compared with other staff, primary care nurses showed significantly more willingness to participate in compassionate community education and network and palliative care education and to provide palliative care. However, physicians were significantly not willing to participate in any of the three services apart from providing care. Capability, administrative and manpower concerns, time, age and motivation were the main barriers.
conclusionsTo encourage primary care staff to participate more in compassionate community education and network and palliative care education and to provide palliative care, policymakers should pay more attention towards removing the barriers to their engagement.
