The Impact of Trauma-Informed Care on Patient Engagement, Experience and Barriers to Care: A Qualitative Study: Empirical Research Qualitative.
Article in Nursing open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
aimsTo explore patient experiences of trauma-informed care in general health services delivered by community health nurses to individuals impacted by sexual assault or domestic violence, and the impact this care had on service engagement, overall patient experiences and barriers to care.
designA naturalistic inquiry approach was adopted.
methodsIndividual semi-structured interviews were conducted with six adults impacted by sexual assault or family violence attending a multi-agency metropolitan health service. Data were inductively analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.
resultsThe significance of feeling safe and heard was interwoven across three main themes: Enhancing engagement with health care; Sharing the load: the experience of trauma-informed nursing care; and The nurse's role in breaking down health system barriers and highlighting the value and impact of nurses implementing trauma-informed care.
conclusionsPatient experiences supported the need for and provided examples of operationalising trauma-informed care in health care. Study findings suggest incorporation of trauma-informed care into mainstream health service provision and training is recommended. Future research should expand understanding of the process and outcomes of implementing trauma-informed care. IMPACT: Trauma-informed care can prevent re-traumatisation and disrupt trauma impacts, but implementation in the health sector is poorly understood. This study demonstrates how trauma-informed care can be translated to general health care settings to improve accessibility to care, enhance engagement and generate positive patient experiences. REPORTING
methodAligns with the EQUATOR guidelines and COREQ reporting method. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Six patients were involved as participants in the study; findings were shared with these patients before being included in the manuscript.
