Exploring trauma recovery in nurses: a text mining and thematic analysis based on Swanson's theory of caring.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04989582 (Effectiveness of a Nursing Intervention for Nurses Have Experienced Trauma), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
backgroundIn their personal lives and workplace, nurses are exposed to traumatic events, which heighten their risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder. However, targeted interventions to promote psychological recovery among nurses are limited. This study explored the emotional and psychological recovery processes of nurses who participated in an Internet-based Trauma Recovery Nursing Intervention (IBTRNI) based on Swanson's Theory of Caring.
methodsThis study conducted a secondary qualitative analysis of free-text responses collected from 102 nurses who completed IBTRNI, as part of a survey-based study with both closed- and open-ended questions. Text mining was utilized to identify high-frequency keywords, and thematic analysis provided deeper emotional and psychological insights. The analysis was structured around Swanson's three phases: "Knowing," "Doing For," and "Enabling."
resultsIn the "Knowing phase," the participants demonstrated increased self-awareness, recognizing their emotional responses and the effects of negative thoughts on daily life. The "Doing For" phase revealed enhanced emotional regulation, where participants learned to manage and transform negative emotions into positive ones. Finally, the "Enabling" participants developed improved interpersonal relationships and adopted effective coping mechanisms, including communication and mindfulness practices, to manage stress and promote resilience.
conclusionsSwanson's Theory of Caring provides a robust framework for supporting nurses' trauma recovery. The combination of text mining and thematic analysis offers a comprehensive understanding of the emotional and psychological transformations experienced during the intervention. The findings underscore the potential for theory-based digital interventions to support trauma recovery among healthcare professionals. Future research should expand on these methodologies to enhance their broader applicability.
trial registrationThis study involved secondary data analysis. The primary study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov-US National Library of Medicine (clinical trial registration number: NCT04989582) on 2022-01-31 and is available online.
