Relationship between hospitalised patients' perceptions of individualised and compassionate nursing care: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2026. 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
backgroundIndividualised care and compassionate care are fundamental components of person-centred nursing, yet little is known about their relationship from the patient perspective. Understanding this link may help improve care quality and patient satisfaction.
methodThis study examined the relationship between patients' perceptions of individualised and compassionate care. This descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional study was conducted with 382 inpatients treated at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University Health Practice and Research Hospital between March and October 2024. During data collection, the "Patient Information Form," the "Individualised Care Scale-B (ICS-B)," and the "5-Item Compassion Scale (5-CM)" were employed. Statistical analyses were performed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Spearman's rho correlation coefficient, Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Bonferroni correction test.
resultsThe mean total ICS-B score was 4.69 ± 0.43. Subscale means were 4.69 ± 0.47 for "Clinical Situation," 4.67 ± 0.52 for "Personal Life Situation," and 4.70 ± 0.44 for "Decision-Making Control." The mean total score for the 5-CM was 3.79 ± 0.39. A statistically significant, moderate, positive correlation was found between the ICS-B total and subscale scores and the 5-CM total score (Spearman's rho = 0.56, 95% CI: 0.44-0.69, p < 0.001).
conclusionsA positive relationship was found between patients' perceptions of individualised care and compassionate care. Strengthening individualised-care practices may enhance patients' experiences of compassionate care and improve overall patient satisfaction.
