Community nursing on subjective well-being of the elderly: evidence from CLASS data.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundWith the acceleration of the global aging process, Subjective Well-being (SWB) of the elderly which focuses on their inner true feelings and reflects the meaning and happiness of their lives, has drawn extensive attention from all walks of life. However, due to factors like the flow of the labor force, the miniaturization and flattening of family structures, the traditional function of family care has been continuously weakened, and it's hard for families to take on the all-round care for the elderly.
methodsThis study utilized the micro-panel data from the China Longitudinal Aging Social Survey (CLASS) in 2018 and 2020, covering a sample of 8,179 elderly people aged over 60 in China. The fixed effects model was employed for the benchmark regression. The two-stage least squares method (2SLS) was used to overcome the endogeneity problem. Replacing variables and samples as well as the propensity score matching (PSM) was adopted for the robustness test, and the mediating effect model was utilized for the mechanism analysis.
resultsThe findings of this study are as follows: (1) Community nursing increases the SWB of the elderly by 0.101 standard deviations. (2) Mechanism analysis demonstrates that community nursing can improve the SWB of the elderly by means of health improvement (0.029/0.003/0.006), social participation (0.014), and social identity (0.018/0.012). (3) Heterogeneity analysis discloses that for different types of elderly groups, community nursing plays a more crucial role in enhancing the SWB of vulnerable elderly individuals with low incomes (0.145, p < 0.01), low educational attainment (0.092, p < 0.01), living in rural areas (0.447, p < 0.01), and not living with their children (0.296, p < 0.01).
conclusionThis study has confirmed the crucial role of community nursing in enhancing the SWB of the elderly. Moreover, this positive influence has a multi-dimensional impact mechanism and shows characteristics of group differences. Based on this, Special training programs for community nurses can be carried out, with a focus on enhancing their capabilities in elderly health assessment and planning, humanistic qualities, as well as communication and coordination abilities. Community institutions can implement a stratified nursing strategy, designing customized interventions for vulnerable elderly groups.
