Facilitating a safe and caring atmosphere in everyday life in forensic mental health wards - a qualitative study.
Article in International journal of qualitative studies on health and well-being, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purposeTo explore healthcare professionals' experiences with facilitating a safe and caring atmosphere in patients' everyday lives in forensic mental health wards.
methodsThis qualitative study employed interviews with 16 healthcare professionals working shifts in two forensic mental healthcare wards in Norway. Data were analysed using phenomenological hermeneutic analysis.
resultsThe findings are presented in terms of two themes. The first theme is "Creating a calming atmosphere" and includes the subthemes "Creating caring surroundings with safety, comfort and trust" and "Balancing everyday life activities". The second theme is "Facilitating risk assessments and care" and includes the subthemes "Acting as a team", "Becoming aware of the meaning in signs" and "Becoming aware of vulnerability and the window of tolerance".
conclusionsInvolvement in patients' history and lived lives is important both for understanding general social behaviour as well as for assessing signs, symptoms, and changes in patients' conditions; furthermore, it provides valuable information that allows healthcare professionals to become aware of the underlying meanings in signs, which can facilitate examinations and treatment. Acting as a team is essential to solve issues in a calm and safe way when signs of violence occur. In addition, our participants highlighted the need to be aware of individual patients' vulnerability and windows of tolerance to obtain a deeper understanding of patients' lived lives as a whole in the context of providing therapy and care to patients.
