Attitudes of healthcare providers and patients/families toward a family-centered visitation and care program: a qualitative study.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. 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
Design: Patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) often experience severe health complications, which results in restricted ward access and limited family visitation opportunities. This frequently leaves families inadequately informed about the patient's condition. The Patient and Family-Centered Visitation (PFCV) model promotes a more open and flexible visitation approach, emphasizing patient autonomy and fostering an environment of mutual respect and trust among healthcare providers, patients, and families. Currently, no hospitals in China have implemented a fully family-centered visitation system. Aim: To understand the evolving landscape of family-centered visitation in China, this study aimed to explore the advantages, disadvantages, and implementation potential of such a system in clinical practice from the perspectives of healthcare professionals (doctors and nurses), patients, and their families. Results: Using a phenomenological qualitative approach, this study involved physicians, nurses, patients, and family members from a tertiary hospital in Lanzhou City. Data were organized and coded using the qualitative analysis software NVivo 11.0 Plus and were subsequently analyzed through Colaizzi's seven-step method to derive final themes. Conclusion: The establishment of a family-centered visitation system in the ICU faces significant challenges related to workforce, environmental constraints, and management. However, opportunities exist for family involvement in certain aspects of patient care. To address these challenges effectively, hospital administration must provide tailored support for implementing a context-appropriate family-centered visitation system.
