Changes in Empathy and Mental Resilience in Health Professionals After Completing the Certified "Generic Instructor Course" Seminar.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
introductionFactors that may affect the performance of healthcare professionals performing resuscitation include stress, social profile, fatigue, empathy, and resilience. Interpersonal skills are required for better performance. This study aimed at evaluating the change in empathy and mental resilience in health professionals who have the status of instructor potential achieved after successfully completing a certified training/intervention course and want to develop/certify as course instructors.
methodsHealthcare professionals attended the Generic Instructor Course (GIC), a two-day course training instructor candidates from different training courses. Empathy and the cultivation of mental resilience of adult healthcare professional trainers were measured in order to investigate whether participation in a simulated training process can influence these characteristics of the trainer and how these characteristics interact with the training process. Four measurements were recorded: (i) baseline (before the GIC course), (ii) after the course, (iii) follow-up after one month, and (iv) follow-up after three months.
resultsNinety participants in the GIC course were the study sample. Participants showed statistically higher empathy after participation in the GIC vs. baseline, one-month, and three-month follow-up (p = 0.023). Resilience did not reveal any statistical difference, after the participation in the GIC and follow-up measurements (p = 0.084). For both variables (empathy and resilience), demographics did not have any association with the variables.
conclusionsBesides its primary aim of training and certifying future instructors in resuscitation courses, the GIC also had a positive impact on the participants' empathy.
