Occupational balance and caregiver burden among caregivers of individuals with spinal cord injuries.

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
objectivesTo investigate the occupational balance, caregiver burden, and factors affecting them in caregivers of individuals with spinal cord injuries in Iran.
designA cross-sectional study with multiple linear regression analyses to specify factors related to occupational balance and caregiver burden. SETTINGS: Community-dwelling individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI).
participantsA convenience sample of 84 individuals with SCI.
interventionsNot applicable. MEASURES: The Occupational Balance Questionnaire-11, Caregiver Burden Scale (CBS), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were used to assess the occupational balance, caregiver burden, and stress/anxiety levels of the caregivers, respectively. Functional independence, anxiety/depression levels, and the participants' ability for self-management were evaluated using the Barthel index, HADS, Partners In Health (PIH), and Patient Activation Measure (PAM), respectively.
resultsThere was a positive and significant correlation between the self-management skills of the participants and their independence in daily activities with their caregivers' occupational balance. A negative and significant correlation was found between the individuals' self-management skills and their independence in daily activities with caregiver burden. In addition, a significant correlation existed between the anxiety and depression of the participants and their caregivers with occupational balance and caregiver burden. Finally, there was a negative and significant correlation between occupational balance and caregiver burden (P
conclusionThis study demonstrated that factors such as participants' self-management skills, their independence in daily activities, and the level of anxiety and depression in participants and caregivers affect the occupational balance and burden experienced by caregivers of individuals with SCIs.
