Humanistic care quality of nurses in pediatric ICU: time for improvement.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundHumanistic care quality among nurses is of paramount importance in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). This study aims to systematically assess the current status of humanistic care quality among PICU nurses, identify its influencing factors, and provide empirical evidence to inform strategies for enhancing clinical nursing practice.
methodsThis study enrolled nurses from the PICU of a tertiary grade A hospital in China, between April 2025 and May 2025. Data collection was conducted using the Nursing Caring Characters Assessment Tool (NCCAT) through questionnaire surveys. To identify factors associated with the humanistic care quality of PICU nurses, correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were applied for statistical examination.
resultsA total of 242 PICU nurses were included in the study. The mean total score for humanistic care quality was 112.08 ± 17.35. Correlation analysis identified significant positive associations between humanistic care quality scores and age (Pearson r = 0.581, p = 0.017), gender (point-biserial r = 0.346, p = 0.043), highest educational attainment (point-biserial r = 0.595, p = 0.020), professional title (Spearman ρ = 0.544, p = 0.038), and having received humanistic care training (point-biserial r = 0.635, p = 0.002). Multiple linear regression showed these five factors were independent influencers of humanistic care quality: professional title (β = 0.245, p = 0.009), highest educational attainment (β = 0.169, p = 0.007), having received training (β = 0.121, p = 0.001), gender (β = 0.101, p = 0.012; interpreted with caution due to 94.21% female sample), and age (β = 0.095, p = 0.014). The model explained 59.2% of variance (R2 = 0.592, F = 24.118, p < 0.001).
conclusionThe humanistic care quality of PICU nurses remains suboptimal and warrants further improvement. Clinical nursing administrators should formulate targeted interventions based on the identified influencing factors to enhance nurses’ humanistic care capabilities.
