Mental health and work ability of female kindergarten teachers in Germany and Ukraine and their relationship with individual work-related behaviors.
Article in International journal of occupational medicine and environmental health, 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
objectivesPeople face stressful situations in different ways and exhibit different work-related behaviors and experiences that can be assigned to a pattern ( MATERIAL AND
methodsIn the cross-sectional study, 185 German teachers (D) and 107 Ukrainian teachers (UA) filled out AVEM-questionnaire. Mental health and work ability were recorded using questionnaires. Group comparisons were carried out between the kindergarten teachers in both countries.
resultsA total of 126 German and 83 Ukrainian kindergarten teachers could be clearly assigned to 1 of the 4 AVEM patterns: A - effort (18.3% G vs. 38.6% UA), B - burnout (24.6% D vs. 24.1% UA), G - health (17.5% D vs. 25.3% UA) and S - protection (39.7% D vs. 12.0% UA, p < 0.001). German kindergarten teachers rated their work ability (mean [M] ± standard deviation [SD] 7.3±1.7 pts) lower than Ukrainian kindergarten teachers (M±SD 8.0±1.4 pts, p < 0.001). Both groups cope equally well with physical demands, but Ukrainian teachers cope better with mental demands (M±SD 3.7±0.7 pts vs. 3.4±0.8 pts, p = 0.005). Mental health was subjectively impaired in 16.7% of German and 9.6% of Ukrainian kindergarten teachers (p = 0.160). Overall, German teachers rated their mental health worse with M±SD 11.8±5.3 pts (
conclusionsThe analysis of individual AVEM patterns can be a helpful basis for identifying health-endangering patterns as well as resources and thus establishing measures to maintain the health of teachers. Int J Occup Med Environ Health. 2025;38(5):495-511.
