Palliative care nurses' views on their retention intention: a qualitative study.
Article in Frontiers in health services, 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
Background: Palliative care is in short supply worldwide, and nurses are core members of its implementation. However, there is currently a severe shortage of palliative care nurses. Therefore, enhancing their retention intention and attracting more nurses to join this field is an urgent issue that needs to be addressed. Methods: This research is based on the theoretical framework of the Job Demands-Resources Model (JD-R). In the qualitative research, the phenomenological research method was adopted,And a semi-structured interview guide was used to collect the data. Each interview lasts for approximately 20 to 52 min. The data is analyzed using the thematic analysis method. Results: This study involved 15 participants. In the area of retention intention, we have identified an excessively high level of job demands (continuous exposure to death and near-death experiences, High-intensity emotional labor, complex communication and ethical dilemmas, as well as intense physical labor) are the obstructive factors affecting retention intention.However, sufficient work resources (team support and cohesion, organizational support and recognition, sense of job value, and a humanized and supportive environment) and personal resources (sense of mission and altruistic values, psychological resilience and self-adjustment, reconstruction of the understanding of life and death, professional skill) are important factors in promoting the intention to remain in the job. Conclusion: This study reveals that the Palliative care nurse retention intention in their positions is a complex phenomenon influenced by multiple factors. It emphasizes that managers should recognize the value of palliative care nurses' work, reduce their workload demands, optimize their job content, provide resources that can empower and motivate the nurses, and attach importance to the enhancement of the nurses' intrinsic personal resources.
