Building evidence-based interventions to improve staff well-being in paediatric critical care using the behaviour change wheel.
Article in Nursing in critical care, 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
backgroundResearch has demonstrated that staff working in Paediatric Critical Care (PCC) experience high levels of burnout, post-traumatic stress and moral distress. There is very little evidence of how this problem could be addressed.
aimTo develop evidence-based, psychologically informed interventions designed to improve PCC staff well-being that can be feasibility tested on a large scale. STUDY
designThe Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) framework guided systematic development of the interventions. This process was informed by a review of existing well-being initiatives and a survey of PCC staff's awareness and uptake of initiatives identified.
resultsTogether with empirical evidence, the BCW process produced two bespoke 'SWell' (Staff Wellbeing) interventions tailored for delivery in UK PCC units. The two group-based interventions, Mad-Sad-Glad and Wellbeing Images involve the Behaviour Change Techniques (BCTs) of self-belief, social support, feedback and monitoring. These BCTs align closely with the psychological concepts of self-efficacy, self-regulation and the psychological theory of how to thrive.
conclusionsTailored, evidence-based, psychologically informed SWell (Staff Wellbeing) interventions are likely to be feasible and have the potential of making significant differences to individual staff members and the PCC workforce as a whole. Associated investments in the psychological health of the workforce and time to prioritize well-being interventions are required for change to occur and be maintained. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: The SWell (Staff Wellbeing) interventions could impact directly on the well-being of PCC staff and their ability to thrive in the workplace. Indirectly, they could reduce staff attrition, sickness absence and improve patients' and families' experiences of care.
