The Effects of a SWELE Program on Mental Wellbeing Among Children and Adolescents With Special Educational Needs and Disabilities: A Quasi-Experimental Study.
Article in Journal of applied research in intellectual disabilities : JARID, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundThe aim was to examine the effects of 'Supporting Wellness in E-Child Learning Environments' (SWELE) program on the mood, anxiety, social and self-regulation skills and playfulness behaviours of children and adolescents with special educational needs and disabilities.
methodsA quasi-experiment single-group pre-test and post-test design was adopted. The intervention group received a 16-week SWELE program featuring an unstructured free outdoor play coupled with mindfulness-based intervention.
results1187 children and adolescents with intellectual or physical disabilities were recruited. At post-intervention, there are consistent positive changes across all five outcomes with medium to large effect sizes (Cohen's d: 0.63-0.80). Specifically, the SWELE program demonstrated statistically significant improvement in mood level (t = 21.86, p < 0.001), self-regulation skills (t = 29.59, p < 0.001) and social skills (t = 23.84, p < 0.001), reduction in anxiety symptoms (t = -27.47, p < 0.001), and an increase in playfulness behaviours (t = 20.84, p < 0.001).
conclusionThe SWELE intervention program was effective in promoting mental wellbeing among target children and adolescents.
