Implementing PTSD interventions for hospital nurses and physicians during COVID-19: A scoping review.
Synthesis in Archives of public health = Archives belges de sante publique, 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
backgroundNurses and physicians in hospitals are particularly affected by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as shown in the high prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). To handle the urgent and high demand for psychological support, PTSD-related interventions had to be applied rapidly. Thus, interventions that were already evidence-based were adapted to pandemic conditions, or new interventions were developed. To implement these interventions sustainably, and be prepared for future disease outbreaks, we need to identify which strategies are necessary for the successful implementation. From this perspective, four years after the COVID-19 outbreak, we address the following: What are the [1] interventions that address symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder in hospital-based nurses and physicians during the COVID-19 pandemic? What are the [2] implementation strategies for the identified interventions?
methodsWe used a scoping review approach and conducted a literature search from February to April 2023 in PubMed, PsychINFO and CINHAL. Primary studies (protocols) and concept papers focused on PTSD-related interventions for nurses and physicians and their implementation in hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic, and published between 2020 and 2023 were included. Data extraction and analysis were performed in MaxQDA using deductive content analysis based on the (a) template for intervention description and replication (TIDieR) and the (b) Expert recommendations for implementing change (ERIC) framework.
resultsA total of 16 interventions were adapted or developed world wide during the COVID-19 pandemic between 2020 and 2023. Evidence of effectiveness exist in only six of the 16 interventions. Most of them were designed using digital approaches and were primarly delivered through iterative implementation cycles, whereas the implementation of face-to-face interventions focused on interactions with various stakeholders.
conclusionOur findings can be used to support the implementation of PTSD-related interventions for nurses and physicians in hospitals under pandemic conditions. Future research should focus on evaluating the effectiveness of these interventions and identifying strategies for a beneficial and sustainable implementation.
