How do work in oncology unit nurses experience hospice care provision in China? A descriptive phenomenological study.
Article in BMC palliative care, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesTo explore the experiences and perceptions of oncology nurses providing hospice care in Chinese mainland.
methodsA descriptive phenomenological research method was utilized to describe experience of hospice care among oncology nurses. Eighteen oncology nurses were selected for interviews using purposive sampling from four grade A tertiary hospitals in Wuhan, Hubei province, China. The face-to-face semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. Data were recorded using NVivo 12.0 and analyzed using the Colaizzi's 7-step phenomenological data analysis method.
resultsThe interview data generated five major themes: (1) end-of-life care for oncology patients, (2) support and care for family members, (3) self-limitation and psychological distress, (4) culture and external environment constraints, and (5) self-coping and gains.
conclusionsIn Chinese mainland, oncology nurses encountered barriers and negative emotions in conducting hospice care, but have also made strides in the promotion of hospice care. In the future, the use of different traditional Chinese medicine technology to facilitate symptom management in end-of-life patients should be explored, and more tools to assist in providing psychological care and communication should be developed.
