Coping Strategies among Patients with Dissociative Disorder: An Observational Study.
Observational study in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 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
Introduction: Various factors contribute to the development of dissociative disorders. The ability to cope with different stressful events is key to symptom manifestations in this disorder. This study aims to explore various stressors and coping strategies in patients with dissociative disorder and the relationship between coping strategies with stressors and clinicodemographic characteristics. Methods: This was an observational cross-section study which evaluated patients with dissociative disorder presenting at the Department of Psychiatry in a tertiary care teaching hospital for 6 months (May to October 2017). We collected data on the demographic and clinical characteristics. We used the Presumptive Stressful Life Event Scale (PSLES) and Brief COPE scale to record the stressors and the coping responses, respectively. We summarized numerical variables with median and interquartile range (IQR) and categorical variables with proportions. Spearman rank correlation was run to determine the relationship between the PSLES and each coping strategy. Results: Of 108 patients, 86 (79.62%) patients were studied. 77 (89.53%) patients reported stressful life events, and failure in the examination was the most common stressor. Overall, coping strategies were used minimally. Problem-focused coping strategies were used slightly more frequently. There was no statistically significant correlation between stressors and coping strategies. Only religious coping was found to have a significant correlation with age. Conclusions: The majority had stressful events. The use of coping strategies was uncommon. Problem-focused coping strategies were used more frequently.
