1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundHealth care institutions face high systemic risk due to the inherent uncertainty and complexity of their operations. This often leads to stressful incidents impacting the well-being of health care professionals, which can compromise the effectiveness of health care systems. Enhancing resilience among health care professionals is essential for maintaining high-quality care and ensuring patient safety. The role of middle managers is essential to ensure the response capacity of individuals and teams.

objectiveThis study aims to develop a web-based intervention aimed at middle management to enhance individual, team, and organizational resilience.

methodsAn observational study was conducted in 3 phases: design, validation, and pilot study. The study was initiated in February 2022 and concluded in June 2023. Phase 1 involved designing the content for the web-based tool based on a comprehensive review of critical elements around resilience. Phase 2 included validation by an international panel of experts who reviewed the tool and rated it according to a structured grid. They were also encouraged to highlight strengths and areas for improvement. Phase 3 involved piloting the tool with health care professionals in Ecuador to refine the platform and assess its effectiveness. A total of 458 people were invited to participate through the Institutional Course on Continuous Improvement in Health Care Quality and Safety offered by the Ministry of Public Health of Ecuador.

resultsThe tool, eResiliencia, was structured into 2 main blocks: individual and team resilience and organizational resilience. It included videos, images, PDFs, and links to dynamic graphics and additional texts. Furthermore, 13 (65%) of the 20 experts validated the tool, rating content clarity at an average of 4.5 (SD 0.7) and utility at an average of 4.7 (SD 0.5) out of 5. The average overall satisfaction was 9.3 (SD 0.6) out of 10 points, and feedback on improvements was implemented. A total of 362 health care professionals began the intervention, of which 218 (60.2%) completed preintervention and postintervention questionnaires, with significant knowledge increases (P<.001). Of the 362 health care professionals, 146 (40.3%) completed the satisfaction questionnaire, where overall satisfaction was rated at an average of 9.4 (SD 1.1) out of 10 points.

conclusionsThe eResiliencia web-based platform provides middle managers with resources to enhance resilience among their teams and their components, promoting better well-being and performance, even under highly stressful events. Future research should focus on long-term impacts and practical applications in diverse clinical settings.
