Extraction of needs based on perceived stigma and their alignment with NANDA in people living with HIV in Iran.
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
backgroundAIDS/HIV is a major public health challenge that, in addition to physical complications, is accompanied by social stigma and negative impacts on mental health and quality of life. Identifying the needs of people living with HIV (PLHIV) and aligning them with NANDA nursing diagnoses can strengthen person-centered and evidence-based care. This study aimed to extract needs based on perceived stigma and map them to NANDA nursing diagnosis patterns. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study employed a directed qualitative content analysis approach, based on the framework proposed by Hsieh and Shannon (2005). It was conducted in 2024 with 21 people living with HIV (PLHIV) recruited from health centers in East Tehran, Iran. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews using purposive sampling, and analysis was guided by six predefined NANDA nursing diagnosis domains.
resultsMost participants were male, with a mean age of 38.52 ± 9.75 years. Directed content analysis resulted in the identification of 11 main categories and 42 subcategories. Findings indicated that perceived stigma influences the multidimensional needs of PLHIV, including physical, psychological, social, sexual, coping-related, and spiritual needs within NANDA diagnosis patterns.
conclusionPerceived stigma broadly affects the physical, psychological, social, sexual, and spiritual care needs of PLHIV. The use of NANDA nursing diagnosis patterns enables a systematic explanation of these needs and guides the development of comprehensive, individualized, culturally-congruent, and evidence-informed nursing care, which may improve treatment adherence and enhance quality of life. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
