Effectiveness of Interventions to Improve Coping and Resilience of Frontline Mental Healthcare Professionals Towards Workplace Violence on Psychiatric Wards-A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in International journal of mental health nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Workplace violence (WPV) is a harmful phenomenon happening in psychiatric wards. Despite preventive efforts, mental health services cannot eliminate WPV. If mental health services can increase the coping and resilience of frontline mental healthcare professionals (FMHPs) towards WPV, it could contribute to their mental health and well-being. To perform a systematic review of comparative studies on interventions to improve coping and resilience towards WPV aimed at FMHPs working in psychiatric wards. Systematic review on comparative intervention studies, with electronic searches in MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane CENTRAL, PsycINFO and CINAHL. We registered our protocol in PROSPERO (CRD42022373757). Performing a meta-analysis seemed not to be feasible, so we provided a narrative summary of the included studies, methodological quality and results. We included nine studies, with interventions focused on positive behavioural support, resilience enhancement and aggression management training. Most studies reported positive effects, though with a moderate to high risk of bias. Positive behavioural support, biofeedback and aggression management training are promising interventions in our review. Biofeedback interventions and positive behavioural support could be valuable additions to existing training programmes to improve coping and resilience. Future studies should focus on demonstrating the robustness of effects, the mechanism of increasing coping and resilience regarding WPV and the development and implementation of effective interventions.
