Enhanced family caregiving improves quality of life, resilience, and hope review in POST-SPINAL SURGERY patients: A Quasi-Experimental study.
Article in BMC neurology, 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
backgroundPatients undergoing spinal surgery often experience chronic pain and functional limitations. These complications frequently lead to diminished quality of life, hope, and resilience. Inadequate family knowledge regarding home-based patient care exacerbates these challenges. This study investigates the effect of family support through education and follow-up after discharge on the quality of life, resilience, and hope in patients following spinal surgery.
methodsThis quasi-experimental study was conducted on 50 spinal surgery patients in Hamadan from November 2023 to October 2024. Participants were selected through convenience sampling and randomly allocated to either intervention or control groups. The intervention group received two visual training sessions before discharge and one month of follow-up, while the control group received only routine care. Data were collected using SF-36 (Quality of Life), MHS (Hope), and CD-RISC (Resilience) questionnaires. Finally, the data were analyzed using Independent and Paired t-tests, Chi-square, and ANCOVA at the significance level of P < 0.05 in SPSS 24.
resultsThe groups showed no significant differences in baseline characteristics (P > 0.05). Post-intervention, the intervention group demonstrated significantly higher scores in quality of life (P = 0.013, Cohen's d = 0.73, 95% CI [0.21-1.25]) and resilience (P = 0.01, d = 0.76, 95% CI [0.25-1.27]) compared to controls, indicating medium-to-large effect sizes. No significant difference was found for hope (P = 0.543, d = 0.17, 95% CI [-0.18, 0.52]).
conclusionFamily education and post-discharge follow-up improved quality of life and resilience in spinal surgery patients, though no significant effect was observed on hope. These findings underscore the importance of structured family caregiving support and systematic follow-up in enhancing patient outcomes.
