The effect of resilience education on family caregivers' strain of older people with chronic diseases: a randomized clinical trial.

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 and purposeLong-term care comes with risks, including caregiver strain. The strain negatively affects caregivers and care quality for the elderly. Enhancing resilience through education can lead to improved health outcomes. This research aimed to evaluate the effect of resilience education on family caregivers' strain of older people with chronic diseases.
methodsThis randomized clinical trial was conducted in Amol, Iran from August 2022 to May 2023. Participants were 84 family caregivers of elderly people with chronic diseases. They were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria through continuous sampling and randomly allocated to an intervention and a control group using block randomization. Data collected by demographic and Robinson's Caregiver Strain Index (13 items) questionnaire before, immediately after, and six weeks post-intervention. Resilience education consisted of six sessions delivered in person and electronically (via SMS) to the intervention group over three weeks, based on Henderson's resilience components training program. Statistical analysis was performed using various tests in SPSS software (v. 16.0) at a significance level of less than 0.05.
resultsAnalysis of variance with repeated measures by groups showed that caregiver strain in the control group did not have a statistically significant difference at any of the different times (p = 0.279). Two-by-two Bonferroni comparison showed that the caregiver strain immediately (18.11 ± 3.12) and six weeks after the intervention (18.78 ± 3.86) had a statistically significant difference compared to before the intervention (20.73 ± 3.51) (p < 0.001).
conclusionThe resilience education was found to be effective in significantly reducing family caregivers' strain of older people with chronic diseases. Therefore, health centers managers and providers can use resilience education to alleviate strain among family caregivers.
