A Nurse-Led Family Support Intervention for Families Living With Cancer: An Experience-Based Co-Design Study.
Article in Journal of advanced nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimTo co-design a nurse-led family support intervention for patients with cancer and their family members.
designAn intervention co-design process.
methodsThe Experience-Based Co-Design method was conducted in a hospital in northern Spain from January 2024 to February 2025 with nurses, patients and family members, following The Point of Care Foundation's eight steps: observations, individual interviews, editing the trigger film, feedback events, co-design and validation events and celebration event.
resultsFour themes emerged from the integrated dataset. (1) Cancer: a family affair, (2) Needs of patients with cancer and their families, (3) The importance of establishing a trust-based nurse-family relationship and (4) Barriers and facilitators for a family-oriented approach in care. These findings informed feedback events where stakeholders identified critical intervention areas, including family support, illness communication, emotional expression and the importance of trust. Based on these results, the Family CARE-ON intervention was structured around three core components: Engaging, Supporting and Empowering.
conclusionsThis study highlights the value of the Experience-Based Co-Design methodology, with active engagement from stakeholders, to develop a family support intervention in oncology care. Further research is needed to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness, as well as to explore the implementation and scalability of the intervention in oncological settings. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Co-designing a family support intervention together with stakeholders ensures alignment with their needs and expectations, while also fostering the feasibility of the intervention in clinical practice. IMPACT: The results show how stakeholders co-designed a family support intervention, drawing from their own experiences and perspectives on the impact of cancer on the family. REPORTING
methodGuidance for reporting intervention development studies in health research (GUIDED) and Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR). PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Nurses, patients and family members were involved in designing the family support intervention.
