Psychosocial correlates of well-being among retired academics at Ghanaian Universities.
Article in Health psychology and behavioral medicine, 2026. 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
Background: Retirement is an important phase of life with varied experiences and potential challenges to well-being, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Academic environments can be particularly taxing, with deleterious impacts on well-being. However, there is inadequate research in Ghana on academic retirees' well-being. Objective and methods: The purpose of this study was to investigate the postretirement experiences and well-being status of academic retirees at some Ghanaian Universities by examining the psychosocial correlates and predictors of well-being. Using a quantitative, nonexperimental, correlational design, the study examined relationships among variables of interest by means of retrospective approach. A sample of two hundred and eighty academic retirees completed self-rated questionnaire on their general well-being, perceptions of control, quality of life and retirement satisfaction. Results: Findings showed that well-being and retirement satisfaction among retired academics were associated with better quality of life in the areas of physical and mental health, social support, and perceived control. Psychological or mental health, perceived control, and financial satisfaction were significant predictors of retirees' well-being. Conclusion: Insights from this study may inform further research on evidence-based efforts in Ghana for clinical practice and institutional responses that promote academic retirees' well-being, particularly in the areas of perceived control, mental health, and financial security.
