Investigating the impact of the RENEW program on enhancing nurses' resilience: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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 SARS-CoV-2 virus, responsible for COVID-19, was first identified in December 2019 and rapidly became a global pandemic. This health crisis placed unprecedented pressure on healthcare systems, and nurses, as frontline caregivers, bore the brunt of the psychological and physical toll. The burnout from this crisis highlighted the need to focus on nurses’ resilience. To evaluate the effectiveness of the RENEW online educational program in enhancing the resilience of nurses working at Imam Hassan (AS) Hospital in Bojnurd(The capital of North Khorasan Province in northeastern Iran).
methodsThis randomized clinical trial was conducted in 2023 with the participation of 86 nurses who had a resilience score of ≤ 75. Participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention (RENEW) or the control group. The RENEW program consisted of six weekly online educational sessions. Data were collected using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale and were analyzed using SPSS.
resultsThe average resilience score in the intervention group showed a significant increase after the program implementation and at the six-month follow-up compared to the control group (P < 0.001). The interaction effect between time and group was also significant (P = 0.019), indicating the sustained effectiveness of the RENEW program in improving resilience.
conclusionThe RENEW educational program significantly improved nurses’ resilience. These findings emphasize the importance of designing structured interventions tailored to nurses’ working conditions to enhance their mental health.
