Grit in the Workplace Experienced by Taiwanese Adults With Congenital Heart Disease: A Phenomenological Study.
Article in Journal of clinical 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
aimTo explore how adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) experience and express grit in the workplace.
designQualitative study using Husserl's descriptive phenomenology.
methodsBetween March 2022 and June 2023, semi-structured interviews were administered to 18 ACHD recruited from two medical centre outpatient departments. The collected data underwent analysis utilising Colaizzi's 7-step analysis method, coupled with Lincoln and Guba's framework, to ensure credibility and trustworthiness.
resultsThe analysis revealed five prominent themes derived from the data: (a) career choices amid constraints; (b) adjustments to one's work environment for reasons of fatigue; (c) crises in the workplace arising from exceeding one's physical limits; (d) supportive networks for better health and job stability; (e) resilience at work for balance and fulfilment in life.
conclusionGrit significantly influences life satisfaction and job performance among adults with congenital heart disease, highlighting its profound impact on their experiences. Patients exhibit perseverance in job pursuits, adapt work methods to manage physical fatigue, confront challenges during work crises, value family and societal support and aim for self-satisfaction. These findings highlight the impact of grit and mental health on ACHD's lives and work, providing insights for better psychological support and interventions. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION: This study clarifies the need for healthcare professionals to incorporate workplace grit training and assessment into ACHD care. IMPACT: Recognising grit as a key factor in ACHD patients' lives informs holistic care, workplace inclusivity and policies that enhance their long-term well-being. REPORTING
methodThis study was performed in accordance with the COREQ guidelines. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public involvement.
