Challenges of palliative care integration into routine hospital care in Iran: A Q-method inquiry on key healthcare providers' prospects.

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: Inclusion of palliative care (PalC) in the routine provided healthcare of hospitals is emphasized by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the endorsed Health Promoting Hospitals (HPH) initiative. Nonetheless, an evidence gap exists about explicit barriers and operational complexities that might prevent embeddedness of PlaC in the Iranian National Healthcare System (INHS) and this was the main impetus for the conception of the current research. Methods: The Barry and Proops' recommended Q method procedures were used in 6 phases including concourse development through the scientific literature search and consultation with the 27 key informants, statements' selection, population set (P-set) selection, Q sorting and factor analysis. Principal component analysis and Varimax rotation were used in factor analysis and the values of factor loadings≥0.4 were considered satisfactory in assessing the degree to which a certain Q sort conforms to a particular factor. Results: The extracted four factors that accounted for 47% of the total observed variance were shortage of physical space and number of the healthcare providers (HCPs), inadequate involvement of the patient's family members in end-of-life treatment decisions, communication barriers, and inadequate training of HCPs for PalC provision. Conclusion: This study elicited important barriers of incorporating PalC into the routine hospital care and hence, importance of taking a multifaceted approach for achieving the goals of INHS in quality healthcare provision. Contrasting views of the approached HCPs could help development of the evidence-based national policies concordant with the HPH initiative in Iran.
