A multidisciplinary, cross-sectional survey of burnout and wellbeing in emergency department staff during COVID-19.
Article in Australasian emergency care, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundEmergency department (ED) staff are at-risk of burnout, poor wellbeing and increased stress that can impact patient satisfaction, staff morale and retention. The aim of this survey was to determine level of burnout, stress and satisfaction with current employment role in ED during COVID-19.
methodsA multisite cross-sectional survey captured ED employment data, wellbeing, burnout (Maslach Burnout Inventory), stress (Health Professions Stress Inventory), work environment (WES-10) and Caring for COVID-19 Patients questions.
resultsThe response rate of 44.2% (n = 177) represented all healthcare disciplines. Only 58.8% (n = 104) of participants were happy in their role, satisfaction was low, burnout was high (M 71.0, SD 17.1) as was level of stress (M 90.6, SD 16.5). Nurses and allied health staff were more stressed than their medical or support staff colleagues. Participants perceived discriminatory behaviours from friends and family in caring for suspected or infected COVID-19 patients.
conclusionsED staff are a vulnerable group. Programmes to promote wellbeing, personal resilience, and self-care together with personal and professional growth are needed to build individual capability and a culture of organisational resilience, particularly in the context of the COVID pandemic.
