Development, implementation and usefulness of an intervention to support psychological resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic: a study from a Swedish hospital based on interviews, documents and a survey.

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
objectivesA range of interventions to support psychological resilience among healthcare workers were provided in hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Most research has focused on the content and experience of these interventions, but less is known about their implementation. The aim of this study was to increase understanding of the development, implementation and perceived usefulness of an intervention to support psychological resilience among healthcare workers at a Swedish hospital during the pandemic.
designThis study employs interviews and documents to explore the development and implementation of support activities and a survey to assess the usefulness of the activities (on a scale from 1 to 5). Qualitative content analysis was used to analyse the interview data and documents. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the survey data. SETTINGS: A tertiary hospital in the outskirts of Region Stockholm.
participantsEight individual interviews were conducted with actors involved in developing the intervention. 286 healthcare workers answered the survey.
resultsSupport activities were developed and implemented by an internal multidisciplinary group who continuously identified and adapted activities to the needs of staff. The strategy of involving existing resources to jointly develop and continuously adapt staff support activities was beneficial for the implementation and longevity of the intervention. Scheduling difficulties were one of the challenges. The mean ratings of the activities ranged from 2.27 for one-on-one counselling to 3.25 for physical activity. Licensed practical nurses generally valued the activities higher than other professional groups.
conclusionsThe provision of activities to support psychological resilience in a crisis is facilitated by the ability of an organisation to use current resources in the face of a crisis, which is a sign of organisational resilience. Leaders who act quickly and create the conditions to test and learn under uncertainty can contribute to developing effective responses to a crisis.
