Telenursing in care education for caregivers of psoriasis patients: a protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Discover mental 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
backgroundPsoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder that imposes significant physical, psychological, and social burdens on patients and their family caregivers. Family caregivers play a crucial role in patient care, but often experience substantial caregiving burden and psychological distress. Telenursing, as an emerging approach in healthcare, offers an accessible and cost-effective method for providing education and support to caregivers. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of telenursing in care education for family caregivers of patients with psoriasis.
methodsA single-site, open-label randomized clinical trial with two parallel groups (intervention and control) will be conducted at the dermatology clinic of Razi Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, between June 2025 and November 2025. Seventy family caregivers of patients with psoriasis who meet the inclusion criteria will be recruited and randomly assigned (38 per group) to either a telenursing-based care education program (intervention) or usual education (control). The intervention will last six weeks, including four weeks of structured online education via WhatsApp and Skyroom, followed by two weeks of follow-up. Primary outcomes (psychological well-being and caregiving burden) and the secondary outcome (caregiver self-efficacy) will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention using validated questionnaires. Statistical analyses will be conducted using SPSS software V.23, with a significance level of p < 0.05. DISCUSSION AND
conclusionThis trial will evaluate whether a structured telenursing program can improve psychological well-being and caregiver self-efficacy while reducing caregiving burden among family caregivers of patients with psoriasis. The findings may inform scalable nurse-led telehealth strategies to support caregivers in chronic dermatological conditions.
