Psychological flexibility as a mediator in the relationship between resilience and academic burnout among Doctor of Physical Therapy students: A structural equation modeling study.
Article in Health science reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Background and Aims: Although resilience has been identified as an important factor for mitigating burnout among health profession students, little is known regarding the modifiable factors that should be emphasized to improve resilience in this population. The purpose of this study was to evaluate psychological flexibility as a modifiable mediator of the relationship between resilience and academic burnout among healthcare students. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 369 Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students from universities across the United States. A two-stage structural equation modeling approach, including confirmatory factor analysis and structural path analysis, was used to investigate psychological flexibility as a mediator of the relationship between resilience and academic burnout. Results: The measurement and structural path models demonstrated a good fit to the data. Resilience had a statistically significant indirect association with less academic burnout through psychological flexibility as the mediator ( Conclusion: These results indicate that the positive effects of resilience on academic burnout occur through modifiable psychological flexibility processes only. These results suggest that psychological flexibility is a modifiable mechanism through which resilience impacts academic burnout. Developing interventions focusing on psychological flexibility may help students build resilience and limit academic burnout, positively impacting the students, their future institutions, and their future patients.
