Compassionate care at end of life and nurses' coping with the patient's death: a cross-sectional correlational study.
Article in International journal of nursing studies advances, 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: Compassionate care and coping with patient death are central components of nursing practice, particularly in internal medicine settings where end-of-life encounters are frequent and emotionally demanding. Aim: To examine the relationships between compassionate care, self-compassion, compassion fatigue, compassion satisfaction, and coping with a patient's death among nurses in internal medicine wards. Design: A cross-sectional quantitative correlational study. Methods: A sample of 256 nurses from two Israeli hospitals completed validated questionnaires assessing compassion competencies and coping with death. Data were analyzed using correlations, t-tests, ANOVA, and linear regression. Results: Compassionate care was positively related to coping with death ( Conclusion: Compassionate care and self-compassion are positively associated with nurses' ability to manage death-related challenges, while compassion fatigue is linked to lower emotional well-being. Supportive strategies correlate with higher resilience. Implications: Organizational efforts could usefully explore emotional support and training to strengthen compassionate care and address emotional strain in acute care. Impact: This study explored emotional mechanisms associated with nurses' capacity to deliver compassionate care and cope with death. It highlights compassionate care as a central factor correlated with professional coping. Findings offer guidance for future interventions targeting variables associated with higher resilience and lower emotional burden. Patient or public involvement: This study did not include patient or public involvement in its design, implementation, or reporting.
