Humanization of care in forensic mental health wards: a qualitative study.
Review in International journal of qualitative studies on health and well-being, 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
purposeTo explore nurses' experiences related to humanizing care in high-security forensic units.
methodsThis study has a qualitative design. Data consist of texts from study involved nine interviews with nurses working in two forensic mental health wards in Norway. The text was interpreted and analysed using Lindseth and Nordberg's phenomenological-hermeneutical method.
resultsThrough an interpretation process, three themes emerged: "Openness and responsiveness to patients' stories"; "Attention to patients' individual needs"; and "Humanistic care in strict environments".
conclusionNurses' presence and caring attitudes in everyday forensic psychiatric care activities provide insights into individual patients' lived experiences, vulnerability, fragility and tolerance limit. The ability to see and listen to patients at the human level and meet and respect patients in human fellowships is essential for care humanization. Additionally, the nurses in our study highlighted the need for nurses to feel safe and closely collaborate within professional healthcare teams.
