Understanding the symptom experience and self-management strategies of adult hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients during hospitalization: findings from a qualitative longitudinal study.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeThe aim of this study was to explore the symptom experience and self-management strategies of adult hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients during hospitalization.
methodsThis was a qualitative descriptive study. A heterogeneous sample of 19 patients who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from May to October 2021 were enrolled in the study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted at four time points during hospitalization, providing a total of 64 interview datasets.
resultsFour themes and 11 subthemes reflecting the symptom experience and self-management strategies of adult hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients during hospitalization were observed. The four themes were (1) unexpected symptom burden: dynamic, disturbing, co-occurring, and correlative; (2) emotional complexity at different periods; (3) internal predicament: ineffectiveness of symptom management; and (4) external strength: desire for support from multiple sources. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients experienced a complex and dynamic array of symptoms from admission to discharge, and they experienced the dual forces of internal predicament and external strength in symptom self-management during hospitalization.
conclusionThe findings of this study emphasize the need for a deeper understanding and precise management of the symptom experience of adult hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients during hospitalization. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation nurses need to assess symptoms on an ongoing basis; educate patients on ways to perceive, express, and self-manage multiple symptoms; and develop patients' self-symptom management skills to enhance their symptom relief and quality of life.
