A Compassion-Focused Approach to Support Parents After Preterm Birth.
Review in Clinical child and family psychology review, 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
Preterm birth remains a global health challenge with significant implications for neonatal outcomes and parental mental health. This paper explores the complex psychological experiences and intrapersonal processes of parents after preterm birth, highlighting their heightened risk for mental health difficulties such as postpartum depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Existing mental health interventions are medicalised, primarily focusing on infant care. As a result, there is currently a lack of emotionally-focused interventions aimed at supporting parents after preterm birth. The current conceptual review proposes a compassion-focused framework to address the unique challenges faced by these parents. The paper aims to: (1) examine common experiences of parents of preterm-born infants, (2) explore the complex psychological processes that underpin these experiences, (3) present theoretical models that can be applied to understand parent's psychological responses, (4) critically review existing interventions aimed at supporting parent mental health following preterm birth, (5) introduce a compassion-focused approach as a novel framework for support, (6) review existing compassion-based interventions aimed at perinatal populations, and (7) outline directions for future research. By integrating a compassion-focused approach, this paper aims to provide actionable insights to support parents' mental health following preterm birth.Clinical Trial Number not applicable.
