Perspectives of healthcare professionals on medical care in nursing homes in Germany and The Netherlands: an explorative study using qualitative content analysis.
Article in European journal of public health, 2025. 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
The organization of healthcare for nursing home residents varies widely between systems, even between neighbouring countries such as Germany and the Netherlands. This study compares healthcare professionals' perspectives on strengths and challenges in medical care for nursing home residents in Germany and the Netherlands. Semistructured interviews were conducted in Germany with six nursing staff from six nursing homes and six general practitioners (GPs) in private practice and in the Netherlands with one elderly care physician (ECP) and seven nursing staff members from six nursing homes between August 2023 and March 2024. Interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, translated, and analysed using qualitative content analysis. Participants reported that Germany and the Netherlands face rising long-term care demands due to aging populations, however, their nursing home care models differ substantially. In Germany, care is reactive and fragmented, with external professionals, especially GPs, providing care. Challenges include delays, limited communication, and a lack of standardized processes. Conversely, the Netherlands adopts a structured, preventive approach, led by ECPs supported by multidisciplinary teams. This model emphasizes proactive monitoring, team collaboration, and holistic care but faces workload challenges and limited specialist access. Interprofessional collaboration is more hierarchical and record-based in Germany, while it is team-oriented and conversational in the Netherlands. This study highlights key differences in the organization of nursing home care in Germany and the Netherlands, particularly in access to specialists, interprofessional collaboration, and structures. Potential adaptations to improve care must fit within the existing structures of each healthcare system.
