Self-Reported Burden Among Informal Caregivers of Patients Receiving Psychiatric Hospital Treatment: A National Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in International journal of mental health nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Involving informal caregivers in the support of patients receiving psychiatric treatment has a positive effect on the patient's treatment outcome. At the same time, providing care for these patients may pose a serious burden on the caregivers themselves. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with a high caregiver burden using a cross-sectional study design and to determine areas of perceived burden in a thematic analysis based on information from the Danish National Survey of Psychiatric Patient Experiences. Results showed that 54.3% of caregivers reported a high caregiver burden, and the associated factors were: being a parental caregiver for outpatients (adjusted OR: 1.80, 95% CI: 1.17-2.76) as well as inpatients (adjusted OR: 3.81, 95% CI: 1.97-10.51) and diagnosis among outpatients, including affective disorder (adjusted OR: 1.80, 95% CI: 1.34-2.43), anxiety/OCD (adjusted OR: 1.66, 95% CI: 1.14-2.41) and eating disorder (adjusted OR: 3.91, 95% CI: 1.87-8.15). The thematic analysis revealed four areas related to caregiver burden: 'Emotional burden', 'Relational burden', 'Implications for everyday life' and 'Encountering the health care system'. This study stresses that a large group of informal caregivers feel highly burdened and notify the specific areas of caregiver burden. Targeted interventions are needed to alleviate the burden of informal caregivers and reduce their risk of negative health outcomes.
