Attitudes and influencing factors of nursing interns towards hospice care in Wuhu, China: 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. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundNursing interns are future frontline providers of hospice care, and their attitudes toward end-of-life care directly affect the quality of hospice services. However, current nursing education often lacks targeted hospice care training, leading to gaps in nursing interns’ preparedness to meet the needs of terminally ill patients. Nursing education plays a crucial role in equipping nursing interns with the necessary skills and knowledge to provide compassionate care for dying patients. Nursing programs need to prioritize end-of-life care training, as it prepares these future nurses to address the unique physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of individuals nearing the end of their lives.
methodsThe sample for this study consisted of 374 nursing college interns who were assessed using the general data questionnaire and the Chinese version of the FATCOD-B-C (Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying Scale–Form B, Chinese Version). The measurement data were characterized using the mean and standard deviation, while the counting data were described by the number of individuals.
resultsThe mean score of the FATCOD-B-C items was 114.79 (SD = 10.68). The regression equation ultimately included a total of seven variables (p < 0.05), including attitudes towards death, gender, internship duration (mth), encouraging your loved ones to consider hospice care, the experience of witnessing the death of any relative, hoping to offer specialized hospice courses and provide knowledge about hospice care to others. Regarding the hospice care content included in the geriatric nursing course (a core course in the nursing program), 72.5% of participants were satisfied with its delivery. According to the survey, 56.7% of participants expressed their willingness to contribute towards hospice care development.
conclusionThe level of enthusiasm towards hospice care among nursing interns in China requires enhancement. It is suggested to establish the correct view of death for nursing interns, constantly improve the nursing curriculum system, and increase the study of hospice care courses to improve the enthusiasm of these nursing interns for hospice care.
