Hospitalization experience and associated factors among Chinese patients with cancer: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. 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
backgroundAlthough hospitalization experience is recognized as critical to patient well-being and nursing quality, its role within Chinese healthcare system remains understudied, particularly among cancer patients. This study aims to capture the associated factors of Chinese cancer patients' hospitalization experience, with the goal of informing targeted improvements in care delivery.
methodsA convenience sampling method was employed to survey 351 cancer inpatients from three tertiary hospitals in China from September to November 2024. Data were collected using the Patient-reported Experience Measure for Cancer (PREM-C), the Hospital Service Quality Questionnaire (HSQQ), and the Family APGAR Index (APGAR). The acquired data were analyzed using the Shapiro-Wilk test, univariate analysis, and multiple linear regression.
resultsThe mean scores for PREM-C, HSQQ, and APGAR were 92.47 ± 8.62, 82.22 ± 8.05, and 8.26 ± 1.45, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated four factors associated with cancer patients' overall hospitalization experience, including payment of medical costs (β = -0.170, p < 0.001), type of cancer (β = 0.128, p = 0.026), quality of hospital services (β = 0.367, p < 0.001), and family function (β = 0.163, p = 0.001).
conclusionPatients with higher-quality hospital services, stronger family functioning, or medical insurance report more positive hospitalization experiences. Gynecological cancer patients also report better experiences than those with other cancer types. This study highlights hospital service quality and family functioning as key influences on cancer patients' hospitalization experience, advocating tailored support for different cancer types.
