A Program to Improve General Palliative Cancer Care Guideline Implementation: Development, Acceptability, and Feasibility of Implementation Strategies.
Article in Journal of evaluation in clinical practice, 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
rationaleImplementing palliative care for patients with cancer in the healthcare sector is a complex task. Some patients with cancer do not receive timely and comprehensive palliative care tailored to their needs, potentially reducing their quality of life. AIMS AND
objectivesThe goal is to develop an Implementation Program to improve the implementation of the national guidelines for general palliative cancer care. Moreover, the study aims to evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of the implementation strategies among healthcare professionals.
designWe used a participatory action research approach and the Quality Implementation Framework to guide the program. Additionally, we evaluated the acceptability and feasibility of the implementation strategies through a qualitative descriptive design.
methodsThirty-one healthcare professionals from oncology, municipalities, and general practice took part in developing the Implementation Program with guidance from a facilitator. We utilized data triangulation, including qualitative interviews (n = 17), observation data from in-person meetings (n = 5), virtual meetings (n = 50), and process data gathered from November 2021 to March 2023. We analyzed the data using Content Analysis methods.
resultsA program comprising 14 critical steps was developed. The implementation strategies were found acceptable and feasible, particularly for cross-sectoral networking and a facilitator supporting collaboration. However, Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles were considered problematic. The value of learning from experiences was recognized, and healthcare professionals appreciated the advantages of cross-sector collaboration.
conclusionThis study involved cross-sectoral healthcare professionals in developing the Implementation Program for general palliative cancer care. Networking is vital in this context and should be considered a stand-alone implementation strategy.
