Burnout Among Mental Health Professionals in India: A Qualitative Enquiry.
Article in Annals of neurosciences, 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
Background: Burnout poses a significant occupational risk to mental health professionals (MHPs), compromising the quality of care provided to clients and eroding clinicians' overall well-being. There is a dearth of studies examining burnout in MHPs within the Indian context. The unique challenges faced by Indian MHPs necessitate localised research. Context-specific research is vital for grasping the complexities of burnout among Indian MHPs. Purpose: The present study intends to explore three research questions: (a) How do MHPs experience burnout in Indian setting? (b) What are the factors that contribute to burnout among MHPs? (c) What are the strategies used by MHPs to cope with burnout? Methods: To develop an insight about these research questions, the researchers used a semi-structured interview schedule and interviewed eight MHPs (five females and three males; age range: 28-50 years). After acquiring consent from each participant, the interview was audio-recorded and manually transcribed by the researchers. Data were analysed using thematic analysis based on the conceptualisation given by Braun and Clarke. Results: Three major themes were developed: (a) experiences of burnout: being in a bind, (b) facets of burnout: candle burning from both sides and (c) protective factors of burnout: a ray of hope, along with subsequent sub-themes and minor themes. Conclusion: The study significantly enhances the burnout literature by providing contextualised accounts of its effects on diverse MHPs in India. Through in-depth explorations, it sheds new light on burnout among Indian MHPs, sharing their personal stories and offering a rich tapestry of experiences. The data underscore the critical need for prioritising practitioner well-being.
