The Experience of Caring for Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Patients From the Perspective of Haematology Nurses: A Qualitative Descriptive Study.
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 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
aimThis study aimed to explore the experiences of haematology nurses while caring for patients undergoing haematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
designA qualitative descriptive study was conducted.
methodsWe conducted semi-structured interviews with 18 haematology nurses in six hospitals between May 2022 and December 2023. The data were analysed using traditional content analysis. The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Studies (COREQ) checklist guided this report. The data were saturated in the 16th interview, and two more were conducted to confirm data saturation.
resultsThrough analysis, four themes and eleven sub-themes regarding the caring experiences of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients have emerged: challenges of isolated spaces, including the 'claustrophobic' feeling in isolated environments, segregation of communication, and pressure to independently assess and manage patient care; moral distress from treatment decisions, encompassing struggles in weighing haematopoietic stem cell transplantation pros and cons during patient communication, providing 'insincere' encouragement to patients, and doubting the meaning of persistence; reciprocal dedication in nurse-patient relationships, characterised by nurses' emotional investment in care and patients' positive feedback as motivation; and increased sense of professional value, demonstrated through increased confidence in caregiving, enhanced self-care ability, and achievement of job fulfilment.
conclusionsThis study explores the real and intuitive experiences of haematology nurses caring for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients in China, enhancing our understanding of the care process. It revealed haematology nurses' challenges and positive experiences in caring for haematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients. IMPACT: This study provides evidence to optimise the haematopoietic stem cell transplantation nursing process and develop targeted support systems, which are crucial for enhancing nurses' sense of professional value and ensuring their well-being. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: This paper benefited from the contributions of 18 haematology nurses, who shared their valuable experiences and emotions.
