Cross-Cultural Care: The Experiences of Pediatric Nurses in Providing Culturally Sensitive Care to Children and Their Families.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 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
backgroundSaudi Arabia's healthcare system serves an increasingly diverse patient population, yet limited qualitative evidence exists regarding how pediatric nurses navigate cultural complexity in their daily practice. Understanding nurses' day-to-day experiences of cross-cultural care is essential for strengthening culturally sensitive pediatric services. PURPOSE: This study explored the experiences of pediatric nurses in providing culturally sensitive care to children and their families in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
methodsA qualitative descriptive study was conducted in pediatric units of tertiary hospitals in Riyadh City, Saudi Arabia. Eighteen pediatric nurses participated in semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis, and reporting followed the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ) guidelines.
resultsFour themes emerged: navigating cultural landscapes, describing nurses' encounters with diverse cultural beliefs and health practices; communication as a bridge and a barrier, reflecting language challenges and strategies for meaningful engagement; balancing professional standards with cultural respect, highlighting the tension between evidence-based care and cultural accommodation; and the emotional labor of cross-cultural caregiving, capturing the personal toll and resilience involved in culturally diverse practice.
conclusionsPediatric nurses engage in complex interpretive, relational, and emotional work when providing culturally sensitive care. Institutional support through cultural competence training, multilingual resources, and organizational policies is essential for enhancing culturally responsive pediatric nursing practice in diverse healthcare settings.
