Psychosocial Interventions for Families Caring for Mental Health Care Users: A Nominal Group Technique.
Article in Journal of psychiatric and mental health nursing, 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
introductionIn light of the rising global prevalence of mental illness and the need for deinstitutionalised care, families are required to provide community-based care to mental healthcare users. Family members need to be prepared and supported to undertake this role.
aimThe aim was to develop psychosocial interventions to ease the burden of family caregivers of mental healthcare users.
methodUsing convenience sampling, 21 stakeholders were selected. The participants had at least 2 years' experience and/or expertise in the care of family members of mental healthcare users. During a workshop, a nominal group technique was used to collect data. The six steps of Braun and Clarke guided the data analysis.
resultsThree themes were identified, namely, interventions to provide mental health education, interventions to promote social support for families and interventions to ensure effective psychological support for families and mental healthcare users. DISCUSSION: The nominal group technique allowed healthcare and community stakeholders to become aware of their role in supporting family caregivers of mental healthcare users. Healthcare providers need to be empowered to use basic family counselling skills. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Implementation of the developed interventions might lead to a reduction in relapse rates and relieve the caregiver burden.
