Barriers to providing low-intensity cognitive behavioural therapy to individuals with schizophrenia by home-visiting nurses in Japan: a qualitative descriptive study of nurses' experiences.
Article in Journal of research in nursing : JRN, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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: Although cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is recommended for managing individuals with schizophrenia, it has been underutilised in clinical practice. Low-intensity CBT (fewer sessions provided by non-specialists) is expected to offer a partial solution; however, its implementation within community-based care settings remains limited. Aims: To explore the difficulties and barriers faced by home-visiting nurses when providing low-intensity CBT to individuals with schizophrenia. Methods: A qualitative descriptive study was conducted through semi-structured interviews with six nurses in Japan who had experience in delivering low-intensity CBT, including CBTs for psychosis (CBt-p) and individualised metacognitive training for psychosis (MCT+). Data were analysed using a qualitative descriptive method. Results: Three main categories of difficulties/barriers were identified: 'Difficulties in learning low-intensity CBT', 'Difficulties in applying low-intensity CBT to individual clients' and 'Difficulties in providing low-intensity CBT due to the unique structures and functions of home-visiting nursing'. Conclusions: The findings suggest the need for refining the implementation manuals with simplified terminology and familiar examples; creating a work environment that allows continuous consultation with supervisors and mutual learning; revising reimbursement systems under the national health insurance scheme to allow for longer visit times; and training non-specialist nurses as co-therapists to ensure the continuity of care.
