Article in BMC health services research, 2026. 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
backgroundThe growing demand for home care services, mainly due to an aging population and increasing complexity of care, has intensified the shortage of qualified health care professionals, resulting in increased workloads, emotional strain, a constant need to adapt to changing care demands, and poor mental well-being. It is therefore crucial to understand what helps healthcare professionals to stay in their roles and perform under pressure. This study aimed to explore the factors that support resilient performance and mental well-being among healthcare professionals in home care settings.
methodsThis study used a qualitative exploratory design with a thematic analysis approach. Seven semi-structured focus group interviews were conducted with 34 participants working in three home care settings in three Norwegian municipalities. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews using an interview guide that focused on actual work situations, resilience in healthcare, patient safety, mental well-being, leadership support, and engagement in care services.
resultsFour themes were extracted: collaborative culture, describing collective problem-solving, team unity and collegiality; leadership support practices, highlighting the leadership accessibility, supportive, and attentive to the professional and emotional needs of Health care professionals; organization of work, roles and procedures, highlighting the structured routines, tools and technologies, as well as individual coping and adaptation strategies, describing Health care professionals’ flexibility and task prioritization in handling unpredictable situations.
conclusionA dynamic interplay of individual factors and organizational elements shaped healthcare professionals’ ability to cope with and adapt to the challenges and stressors encountered in home care settings. Our research contributes to the growing understanding of the importance of actively promoting collaborative team cultures, accessible leadership, clear organizational structures, and supportive coping strategies in developing resilient and sustainable home care services.
