Value-oriented leadership among nurse managers in multicultural healthcare: a phenomenological study.
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
aimThis study explores how internalized ethical and spiritual value systems shape clinical leadership, addressing a critical research gap in the management of multicultural healthcare settings.
methodsUtilizing Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), we conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 nurse managers between January and February 2026. The study focused on the lived experiences of leaders who integrate personal belief systems into their administrative roles.
resultsFive overarching themes emerged: Leadership as a Transpersonal Calling; Ethical Governance Rooted in Internalized Values (Integrity and Moral Consistency); Humanistic Dimensions of Care and Leadership (Proactive Empathy); Negotiating Professional and Personal Identity (Harmonizing Role Expectations with Personal Beliefs), and; Resilience through Mentorship (Seeking Reflective Guidance).
conclusionNurse managers perceive leadership as a transpersonal calling, emphasizing service-oriented morality as a core professional virtue. While integrating personal values with professional expectations poses unique challenges, participants demonstrated a high degree of balance through strategic reflection and peer support. This underscores the necessity for culturally sensitive leadership training, organizational support for diverse belief systems, and structured mentorship programs. Acknowledging the role of internalized values in leadership is crucial for fostering inclusive healthcare environments and developing globally relevant leadership curricula.
