The impact of core belief disruption on posttraumatic growth and PTSD in healthcare workers: examining the mediating effect of rumination.

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
backgroundHealthcare workers are often exposed to traumatic events and as a result, they may experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other mental illnesses. The prevalence of these issues is high among healthcare professionals. Positive transformation (i.e., PTG) can emerge after struggles related to a stressful life event.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study utilizing structural equation modeling (SEM), a sample of Iranian healthcare workers (nurses and pre-hospital emergency personnel from Ardabil) completed a battery of self-report questionnaires. These measures included a demographic information form, the Life Events Checklist (LEC-5), the Core Beliefs Inventory (CBI), the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI), scales assessing intrusive and deliberate rumination, and a social support questionnaire.
resultsIn examining the direct coefficient paths, all paths were statistically significant with the exception of the path of core belief disruption to deliberate rumination, social support to intrusive rumination, and PTSD to PTG. Similarly, in the examination of the coefficient of indirect paths, all paths were not statistically significant except for the paths of intrusive rumination to PTG through deliberate rumination and social support to PTG through deliberate rumination.
conclusionThe study’s findings suggest that disruptions in core beliefs can result in both post-traumatic growth (PTG) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and that social support plays a crucial role in promoting PTG. Clinical interventions that address disruptions in core beliefs and promote social support, such as mindfulness practices and purposeful thinking, may be effective in promoting mental health and well-being among healthcare professionals. Based on the results of the study, clinical interventions that address disruptions in core beliefs and promote social support may be effective in promoting mental health and well-being among healthcare professionals who have experienced traumatic events. As such, these findings can inform the development of evidence-based clinical interventions that can improve the mental health outcomes of healthcare professionals and, ultimately, enhance patient care.
