Staff feedback within an acute mental health hospital: a qualitative interview study.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Bringing about lasting improvements and change to staff practice in mental health (MH) hospitals is urgently needed but difficult to achieve and maintain. Feedback is a common factor supporting interventions to improve MH practice but does not occur within a Method: This study explored the existing feedback experiences of 11 staff and managers working in a MH hospital using semi-structured interviews. Results: Four main themes with sub-themes emerged: Structure and feedback mechanisms varied by role and profession, feedbacks were either formal and procedural or informal during interactive flows, feedback focus and mechanisms differ along professional lines, and feedback can be individualized to roles and personal factors. The overall feedback environment was shown to be complex. Discussion: Overall organizational feedback interventions may not be effective, and applying the "two systems of thinking" and "teachable moments" ideas to current formal and informal feedbacks may support more effective feedback. Existing formal and informal feedback mechanisms and focus have strengths and weaknesses which can be used to improve care once these have been carefully assessed. Conclusions: Using concepts such as systems of thinking and teachable moments for linking formal structured and informal "in the moment" feedbacks may present useful approaches to improving professional feedback within MH services.
