Family caregivers of people who use drugs in Vietnam: Perceived burden and coping.

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
backgroundUnderstanding the burdens and coping of family caregivers for people who use drugs (PWUD) is essential for developing effective support interventions. This study explores patterns of perceived burden and coping efforts among caregivers in Vietnam and their associations with socio-demographic characteristics.
methodsThis study analyzed baseline data from an intervention trial conducted in three Vietnamese provinces in 2024. A latent profile analysis was conducted to identify distinct caregiver burden and coping profiles. Chi-square tests were performed to explore associations between these profiles and socio-demographic characteristics.
resultsAmong 690 family caregivers, four distinct profiles emerged: (1) High burden-High coping (33.3 %), (2) High burden-Low coping (18.0 %), (3) Low burden-High coping (35.2 %), and (4) Low burden-Low coping (13.5 %). Parents reported the highest levels of perceived burden compared to other caregiver roles. Caregivers with lower education levels (39.5 %) or poor financial status (46.8 %) were more likely to experience high burden and low coping capacity, compared to other profile groups.
conclusionsThis study contributes to the literature on caregiver burden and coping by identifying differences in challenges faced by family caregivers of PWUD. Future interventions should be tailored to address caregivers' specific needs based on their burden and coping efforts.
