The Practice: A Leadership-Endorsed Workplace Intervention to Improve Well-being in Healthcare Professionals.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundHighly prevalent and worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic, burnout is associated with more frequent self-reported medical errors, suboptimal patient care, staff attrition, and lower professional fulfillment. There is a growing call for "wellness-centered leaders" who model, integrate, and prioritize well-being within the practice environment.
objectiveHaving piloted a novel intervention called "The Practice" in one work unit with promising outcomes, we set out to implement and prospectively study the intervention more broadly at our institution.
designDepartmental leaders were offered an opportunity for their team to participate. Within each interested departmental group, participants were trained in the core components of "The Practice": five daily well-being exercises taking less than 15 min. Biweekly facilitated group meetings to share challenges and successes of doing "The Practice" were integrated into departmental meetings for 3 months. Outcome measures included the WHO-5 Well-being Index, the Wong & Law Emotional Intelligence Scale (WLEIS), and the Professional Fulfillment Index (PFI), completed at baseline and months 3, 6, 9, and 12 after enrollment. Changes over time were analyzed using mixed models. Supplemental experience data were collected from a convenience sample and analyzed using the Framework approach.
participantsFrom May 2021 through January 2022, 191 physicians and allied health staff from 14 clinical departments were enrolled. Participants were majority female (84%, n = 161) and White (83.2%, n = 159). KEY
resultsWe observed significant improvements in scores from baseline compared to month 3 that were sustained at later time points for WHO-5, WLEIS, and three of four PFI scales (p < 0.05). Experience data reflected feelings of gratitude that the institution was invested in their well-being, "humanization" of leaders, and increased awareness of coworker's feelings.
conclusion"The Practice" may be an effective, integrated, departmental wellness program by which healthcare organizations can support the well-being of their staff.
