Nurses' experiences of barriers and facilitators to family participation in the care for hospitalized older adult patients: A qualitative study.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 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
backgroundFamily participation in the care of hospitalized older adult patients has always been associated with positive outcomes. However, its optimal implementation requires adequate knowledge of facilitators and barriers, which have been given less attention in the literature. Therefore, the present study was conducted to explain the barriers and facilitators of family participation in the care for hospitalized older adult patients from the perspective of nurses and patients' family members. MATERIALS AND
methodsBased on the grounded theory qualitative study, semistructured in-depth interviews were utilized to collect the experiences of 13 nurses and 4 family members of older adult patients from two public hospitals between 2023 and 2024. Sampling was initially purposive and continued theoretically until data saturation. The data were analyzed using the approach of Strauss and Corbin 2015.
resultsThe analysis of the obtained data led to the emergence of five categories, including family participation-unfriendly hospital, nonparticipatory work environment, inadequate professional competence of nurses to participate, the complexity of older adult patient care, and family capacity for participation. Each of these categories had subategories, resulting in a total of 14 subcategories for the five categories.
conclusionThe study results help increase nursing knowledge about factors affecting family participation in care and provide a basis for designing research, interventions, and developing programs to increase family participation. In addition, it helps formulate hospital policies regarding family participation in providing care for older adult patients.
