'SWell' Staff Wellbeing Interventions in Paediatric Critical Care: A Feasibility Study.
Article in Journal of evaluation in clinical practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionPaediatric Critical Care (PCC) staff experience high levels of stress, distress and burnout. The objective was to test feasibility of delivering staff wellbeing interventions in UK PCC units. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe method was a feasibility study of Staff Wellbeing interventions using standardized psychological measures. STUDY DESIGN AND
participantsWe conducted a multi-centre feasibility (non-randomised) study at 14 UK PCC units during 2023. Interdisciplinary PCC staff were recruited through principal investigators (PIs) at each site. DATA COLLECTION INSTRUMENTS: The primary outcome measure tested was the Short Warwick Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale. Secondary outcome measures tested were: Brief Resilience Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale with acceptability and feasibility surveys. All were completed online using Qualtrics. PROCEDURES: Two 'SWell' Staff Wellbeing interventions were tested: Mad-Sad-Glad and Wellbeing Images with Appreciative Inquiry. They were low-intensity, group-based, structured reflective discussions delivered by PIs. Baseline measures (t0) were completed by 596 staff, 264 (43%) completed immediate post-intervention (t1), with 6% and 5% at 3 (t2) and 6 (t3) months post-intervention, respectively.
results50% (n = 14) of UK PCC units delivered 104 interventions to 573 staff demonstrating delivery feasibility. Wilcoxon signed-rank tests found that wellbeing scores and depression scores were significantly improved in matched pairs (t0, t1; n = 130). Staff ratings indicated high acceptability and feasibility for incorporating interventions into everyday practice. DISCUSSION: 'SWell' interventions are feasible to deliver. Pre/post data collection is possible but significant attrition prohibited long-term follow-up. Significant improvements in wellbeing demonstrated appropriateness of outcome measures to detect changes in psychological wellbeing. Further evaluation work is required to determine whether positive changes are sustainable longer-term.
