Factors related to resilience for mid- to late-career-stage veterinarians: a qualitative study.
Article in Australian veterinary journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to explore how resilience in mid- to late-career stage veterinarians in Australia is shaped by interactions between job demands, personal and contextual resources, strategies and outcomes.
methodsSemistructured interviews with 17 mid- to late-career stage veterinarians were conducted with questions modelled on prior research investigating veterinarians' experiences, teacher well-being and resilience. The Job Demands-Resources model guided thematic analysis.
resultsMid- to late-career stage veterinarians described how resilience is shaped by interactions between (1) demands of the job, (2) resources available, (3) strategies used and (4) resilience outcomes. Job demands and job resources categories were sub-divided into four and seven themes respectively according to whether characteristics were based on personal or contextual factors. Strategies were grouped into seven themes representing intentional ways that veterinarians made effective use of resources. Three themes in the Outcomes category represented positive outcomes that were enabled through dynamic interaction between demands, resources and strategies undertaken to realise outcomes. LIMITATIONS: This study did not explore relationships between perceptions of resilience and veterinary work type, practice location, age or gender. Interviews were conducted before the global COVID-19 pandemic, and results do not reflect any associated psychological impacts from that event.
conclusionResilience in mid- to late-career veterinarians is a dynamic process driven by the interplay of demands, resources, intentional actions and outcomes. Although personal resources can be developed over time, job demands are largely contextual. Effective management practices can mitigate challenges and foster resilience.
