Experiences with dignity among older people confined to beds living in a nursing home: A qualitative descriptive study.
Article in Journal of nursing management, 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
aimThe aim of this study is to explore the concept of dignity from the experience of older people with limited mobility and confined to beds while living in a nursing home.
backgroundNursing staff have an important impact on the dignity of those older people confined to beds in nursing homes. Individuals' uniqueness with respecting dignity should be ensured.
methodsA qualitative descriptive study was conducted. The study was carried out with 19 older people who were immobile and confined to bed and living in nursing homes. The individual in-depth interviews were conducted between July and October 2021. Inductive thematic analysis was used to synthesize data.
resultsThe main theme 'Dignity of older people confined to bed' emerged from subthemes 'Emotions', 'Lived experience' and 'Failure to maintain care'. The participants expressed their dissatisfaction towards the nursing staff's disrespectful care, which evoked feelings of insignificance and inferiority.
conclusionUndignified and disrespectful nursing care can cause feelings of suffering, sadness and anger in older people confined to their beds. Nurses must listen to this group of older people and learn from their experiences. Compassionate, person-centred care with kindness and empathy should be provided by all those providing and receiving care in nursing homes. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: To provide dignified care, nursing staff must understand the importance of person-centred, individually oriented nursing care for older people living with immobility in nursing homes.
