Future Training and Competency Needs in Hospital-at-Home Care: A Mixed-Methods Study From the Perspective of Healthcare Administrators and Managers.
Article in Journal of nursing management, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe growing complexity of hospital-at-home care highlights the pressing need for continuous professional development to enhance specialized skills.
aimThis study aimed to describe the future training and competency needs in hospital-at-home care from the perspective of healthcare administrators and managers.
designA mixed-method convergent design was used to integrate quantitative and qualitative data on similar topics simultaneously, providing a more comprehensive understanding of system-level competency requirements than either method alone.
methodsThe data were collected through a nationwide survey (n = 25) and interviews (n = 46), covering all wellbeing services counties in Finland in 2023. Descriptive statistics were used for quantitative data and inductive content analysis for qualitative data.
resultsQuantitative results indicate needs for additional training in RAI assessment (68%), mental health care (60%), substance abuse expertise (48%), and managing disruptive behaviors (44%). Qualitative findings highlight broader future competence needs, including digital health; cultural and linguistic competence; interprofessional collaboration; managerial competence; home-environment quality and safety; clinical competence; and autonomy in evidence-based practice. Overall, the mixed-method findings differ yet complement one another: quantitative data identify concrete skill gaps, while qualitative insights emphasize wider, system-level competencies to meet the evolving demands of home-based care.
conclusionTaken together, these complementary findings indicate that advancing the workforce will require a dual approach: addressing concrete skill deficits while simultaneously developing the broader competencies needed to meet the evolving demands of home-based care. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: This study informs the creation of structured competency frameworks, enabling nursing leaders to meet the evolving demands of home-based care.
