The COMCARE Framework for Person-Centred Communication-A Practical Caring Framework.
Article in Scandinavian journal of caring sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
aimThis paper examines a theory and practice developed framework aimed at guiding person-centred communication in registered nurse-patient encounters. The primary objective is to refine and present a data- and theory-driven framework tailored to the demands of nursing practice and those receiving care. To achieve this, the COMCARE model is introduced, providing practical guidance for understanding and implementing strategies for nurses' communication and caring behaviours.
designThis theoretical paper addresses theory and research on communication strategies during registered nurse-patient encounters based on the principles of caring and person-centredness.
resultsThe COMCARE model outlines communication strategies to guide registered nurses to ensure caring and supportive interactions, aligning with the principles of person-centred care. COMCARE builds on the necessary communication skills for person-centred registered nurses-patient encounters and clarifies key components of such communication, with related goals. The key components proposed are related to empathic listening and asking questions, responding and acknowledging, guiding and using clear communication, supportive communication, and appraising and confirming communication. Person-centred communication requires a broad repertoire of skills to be applied and tailored to individuals in various situations and practices.
conclusionThe COMCARE model provides an overview of the communication skills essential for person-centred care, emphasising guidance for nursing practice to support patients' optimal well-being and health. This framework highlights the importance of communication skills in shaping patient experiences and outcomes and underscores the need for their application and implementation in caring and nursing practice. Effective communication by registered nurses and other healthcare professionals is vital for delivering high-quality care. The COMCARE framework offers practical guidance and serves as a foundation for future training and education for nursing students, as well as informing policy and research in this area. Further research is needed to test and validate the COMCARE model in clinical settings.
