What are the home care needs of Chinese healthcare workers: a latent class analysis.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The aging population has led to a surge in demand for home care, which has developed rapidly in China in recent years. However, there has been less empirical research into the needs of healthcare workers about providing home care. The purpose of this study was to explore the latent classes of healthcare workers' needs in primary health care institutions and to identify associated factors. Methods: From August 2021 to June 2022, a convenience sampling method was adopted to conduct a questionnaire survey on the workers of 62 primary healthcare institutions in Sichuan Province. Latent class analysis was used to categorize home care needs by Mplus 8.3. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was adopted to explore the influencing factors using SPSS 25.0. Results: A total of 1,152 healthcare workers were included in the study. Their needs for home care were classified into four latent classes: overall high need group (18.0%); overall low need group (34.8%); high training and low support need group (29.9%), and the high security and low training need group (17.3%). The factors influencing the different need categories included working area, professional title, role of medical workers, had participated in training about home care, and feelings about home care, with Class 1 as the reference group. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that primary healthcare workers have multifaceted needs for providing home care. Paying attention to their diverse needs can help optimize home care and enhance service capacity. Exploring the factors affecting needs can provide targeted support to healthcare workers to ensure the quality and continuity of home care services.
