Spiritual care experiences of nurses caring for cancer patients in China: a qualitative research.
Article in Supportive care in cancer : official journal of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeCancer is a significant public health issue, and with rising living standards, patients increasingly prioritize quality of life. This has heightened the demand for spiritual care. Despite its proven benefits, research on spiritual care experiences in China remains limited. This study aims to explore Chinese nurses' experiences in providing spiritual care to cancer patients.
methodSemi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted with 15 purposively sampled nurses from a tertiary oncology hospital in China during May 2023. This study employed a combined approach of induction and deduction in content analysis to analyze the data.
resultsFour key themes emerged: (1) experiences and needs related to spiritual care training, (2) emotional resonance in spiritual care, (3) the dual benefits of spiritual care for both nurses and patients, and (4) dual-dimensional influencing factors in spiritual care implementation, including caregiver-related and patient-related factors.
conclusionsThis study emphasizes the necessity of culturally adaptive spiritual care training in Chinese oncology nursing and its dual benefits. China's humanistic approach holds unique value compared to Western religious models. Despite multiple challenges, there is significant development space. Integrating spiritual care with cultural norms can enhance patient outcomes and nurses' growth, calling for flexible and standardized protocols to ensure broader applicability.
