Factors associated with post-traumatic stress symptoms in healthcare providers after performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation: a mixed-methods study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The experience of performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can cause post-traumatic stress symptoms that negatively impact healthcare providers and reduced their clinical competency. This two-phase mixed-methods was conducted to investigate the factors that cause post-traumatic disorder (PTSD) in healthcare providers who perform CPR. Phase 1 included a survey with a trauma screening questionnaire (TSQ). Phase 2 included gathering interview data and applying conventional content analysis to identify themes. Of the 286 medical staff who completed the TSQ, 32 (11.2%) of respondents experienced PTSD after administering CPR. PTSD occurred significantly more frequently in nurses than in doctors. Among nurses, those with 2-5 years of experience were the most likely to experience PTSD. From the content analysis of the interview data, four themes with twelve subthemes emerged: Healthcare providers were not prepared for CPR, Difficulties faced during CPR administration, Negative emotions experienced after performing CPR, and Overcoming stress and moving forward. The occurrence of PTSD is associated with negative experiences in each stage of the event: before-, during-, and after-CPR. Therefore, to avoid or overcome PTSD caused by performing CPR, systematic and customized intervention strategies suitable for each stage of the process are needed.
