Female Saudi nursing student perspectives on pursuing a career in home healthcare: 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 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
Despite the fact that the number of patients seeking home healthcare in Saudi Arabia is rising, this speciality confronts significant obstacles. This qualitative, descriptive phenomenological study investigates views, feelings and attitudes of nursing students practicing in home healthcare and how they perceive it as a future career. Data were gathered during five face-to-face focus group interviews of five students each (a total of 25 students) and analysed using thematic analysis. It was found that the majority of students did not perceive home healthcare as a viable career option compared to working in a hospital. They vacillated due to the nature of the work, safety concerns, working demands, the invariability of health cases, and a lack of opportunities for professional development. Nevertheless, some nursing students were amenable to pursuing a career in home healthcare due to the less working hours, sense of autonomy, and ability to provide holistic care and educate patients and their families. Population awareness programs are needed to overcome cultural barriers, increase student motivation, and ultimately bolster the number of certified nurses working in home healthcare.
