Navigating preferences for a trouble-free transition: a grounded theory study among older residents in nursing homes.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundWith rising demand for hospice and palliative care nursing (HPCN) in nursing homes (NHs) worldwide, understanding older residents' HPCN preferences has become increasingly crucial. Given the diversity of these preferences across cultural and institutional contexts, a context-specific understanding is essential to developing services truly meet individual needs. Existing research mainly focuses on specific end-of-life aspects and lacks integrative frameworks to explain how broader HPCN preferences are shaped. This study aims to explore how older residents form their HPCN preferences within the interplay of Chinese cultural values and institutional environments and develop a theoretical framework explicating this formation process.
methodsUsing a grounded theory approach with purposive and theoretical sampling, 20 participants were selected from 5 NHs across urban and suburban areas. Data collection involved in-depth, semi-structured face-to-face interviews conducted between October 2021 and January 2022, with concurrent analysis based on Corbin and Strauss's method.
resultsThe analysis identified two contextual conditions shaping residents' preferences for HPCN: cultural context and NH environment. These conditions created cognitive and emotional challenges, categorized into limited understanding of HPCN and psychosocial disconnection. Consequently, residents expressed four main preferences: physical and emotional comfort, supporting relationality, collaborative decision-making, and continuity of care. A bidirectional relationship emerged, wherein challenges influenced preferences, and meeting these preferences helped mitigate challenges. Ultimately, the core concept of "navigating preferences for a trouble-free transition" emerged, capturing the varied and evolving preferences of older residents seeking care that minimizes burdens on both themselves and their families.
conclusionThis study developed a theory on how contextual conditions and residents' cognitive and emotional challenges shape HPCN preferences. It highlights the diversity, variability, and individuality of these preferences, underscoring the need to enhance cultural sensitivity and care environments in Chinese NHs and comparable settings.
