Developing an anxiety management application for healthcare providers: a qualitative study on improving well-being.
Article in BMC health services research, 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
backgroundHealthcare providers are at high risk of anxiety due to their responsibilities and workplace conditions. This issue may worsen over time, especially when the work duration is prolonged. One innovative approach to reducing healthcare providers anxiety, while enhancing the quality of care and improving patient safety, is the implementation of educational programs and the utilization of these resources through a mobile application. This study aimed to develop an anxiety management application to enhance the quality of care and improve patient safety.
methodsAn application prototype was developed based on a systematic review and refined through semi-structured interviews with healthcare workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, and medical informatics specialists. The application was developed using the Flutter framework in both web-based and mobile formats for Android and iOS. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and content analysis.
resultsA systematic review, along with interviews with treatment staff, psychologists, and psychiatrists, was conducted to develop the program. The application included strategies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), meditation, yoga, mindfulness, breathing therapy, and nature therapy. Additional features included a user chat room and a 'My Medications' section. The validated Beck Anxiety Inventory was used to assess the anxiety level.
conclusionsThis study led to the development of a specialized anxiety reduction application that provides evidence-based strategies to significantly reduce anxiety among healthcare providers. This application can greatly improve the mental health of healthcare staff, leading to enhanced patient care quality and safety. The findings of this research offer a valuable foundation for future studies and the development of similar applications to manage and reduce mental health disorders in diverse populations.
