Acknowledging the Trauma and Connecting With the Human Spirit After Hip Fracture: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Nursing open, 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
aimTo gain insights into the hip fracture recovery journey with a focus on discharge and follow-up interventions through exploration of the lived experience of people post hip fracture, advanced practice nurses and practice nurses.
designAn interpretive descriptive methodology was used to guide this qualitative study, underpinned by the Health Empowerment theoretical framework.
methodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted from March to October 2021, eliciting the experiences of recovery from people post-hip fracture, advanced practice nurses, and practice nurses. Interviews were recorded and transcribed. Thematic analysis was applied to the data.
resultsThirteen participants comprising people post-hip fracture, advanced practice nurses, and practice nurses were interviewed. Connecting with the Human Spirit was a major theme identified, and the Health Empowerment Conceptual Model was developed to represent the care components highlighted within this theme.
conclusionConnecting with the Human Spirit was an important finding which incorporated acknowledging the trauma of hip fracture and supported open and honest communication to empower people to actively participate in their recovery. The Health Empowerment Conceptual Model draws together important findings, highlighting the care people post-hip fracture and nurses valued, and the support, education and understanding needed to recover underpinned by an empowerment approach. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: The Health Empowerment Conceptual Model supports an empowered approach to policy and practice development of nurse-led models of care to effectively manage patients post-hip fracture across the care continuum. IMPACT: This study addressed the recovery experiences post-hip fracture. Connecting with the Human Spirit was a major theme, with care component findings informing the Health Empowerment Conceptual Model to support an empowered recovery. Research supports policy and practice development for nurse-led models for health services, clinicians, and people affected by hip fracture. REPORTING
methodConsolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: The experiences of people post-hip fracture, advanced practice nurses, and practice nurses were elicited in this study.
