Clinical Competencies and Professional Quality of Life Associated With Nurses' Culturally Competent Cancer Care for LGBT Individuals: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of clinical 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
backgroundDisparities in cancer care among lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals persist across healthcare systems worldwide. Nurses play an important role in delivering culturally competent cancer care; however, limited research has examined nurses' practices in caring for LGBT individuals with cancer and identified factors influencing such care, particularly in non-Western cultural contexts.
aimTo examine nurses' experiences in providing cancer care for LGBT individuals, their cancer care behaviours, influencing factors and perceived needs regarding knowledge, skills and care settings for delivering culturally competent cancer care.
designCross-sectional survey.
methodsBetween September and December 2024, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in Taiwan across two hospitals, ten nursing associations, five cancer-related foundations and three online nursing communities. A total of 608 nurses with experience caring for patients with cancer were recruited through purposive and snowball sampling. Nurses completed either an online or paper-based survey.
resultsNearly half of the nurses had no prior experience providing cancer care for LGBT individuals. Experience providing such care was associated with older age, non-heterosexual identity, longer length of service, higher LGBT-related care competencies and higher levels of job-related compassion satisfaction and stress. Affirmative cancer care behaviours were associated with a broader and more integrated set of competencies, including knowledge, attitudes, skills, affirmative beliefs and job-related compassion satisfaction. Nurses also reported unmet needs regarding knowledge, skills and care settings for delivering culturally competent cancer care to LGBT individuals.
conclusionThese findings highlight the importance of education, resources and resilience support to strengthen nurses' delivery of culturally competent cancer care for LGBT individuals. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Related training courses, curricula and supporting resources are essential to enhance nurses' culturally competent cancer care practices for LGBT individuals.
