Self-Management Support After Burns: Protocol for a Multicenter, Stepped-Wedge Hybrid Type II Effectiveness-Implementation Study.
Article in JMIR research protocols, 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: After a burn injury, the survivors have to manage and integrate the physical, psychological, and social consequences of their injury into their daily lives, such as functional limitations, aesthetic complaints, and fatigue. How successful survivors of burn injuries are at this depends on their self-management skills. Health care professionals play an important role in supporting the self-management of survivors of burn injuries. Currently, there are no burn-specific self-management support interventions. Therefore, we developed a self-management support intervention for survivors of burn injuries, called BreeZe (Brandwonden en Zelfmanagement). Objective: This study aimed to describe a study protocol to implement and evaluate the BreeZe intervention. Methods: This multicenter study in the Netherlands is an implementation-effectiveness hybrid type 2 study, with a nonrandomized stepped-wedge design. Starting April 2024, 3 phases have been sequentially rolled out across the 3 specialized Dutch burn centers over a period of 20 weeks-the preimplementation phase (usual care), implementation phase, and postimplementation phase. To identify barriers and facilitators of implementation, the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) will be used. For evaluation, the Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) evaluation framework is used. The coprimary outcomes are (1) self-management skills and (2) the implementation outcomes are reach, adoption, implementation, and maintenance. Secondary effectiveness outcomes are self-regulation, participation, dependency, patient-centeredness for survivors of burn injuries, self-management support skills for health care professionals, and cost-effectiveness. Data collection for survivors of burn injuries occurs at 2 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months post discharge, using questionnaires. Data collection for health care professionals occurs before training and 3, 6, and 12 months post implementation, using questionnaires, video observations, and interviews. Data analysis will include both quantitative and qualitative methods for comprehensive evaluation. Results: Participant recruitment ended on June 30, 2025. Follow-up data collection ends in July 2026. Conclusions: This study will evaluate both the effectiveness and implementation of the BreeZe self-management support intervention for survivors of burn injuries using a hybrid effectiveness-implementation design. By applying the CFIR and RE-AIM frameworks within a stepped-wedge design embedded in routine burn aftercare, this study aims to generate robust and practice-relevant evidence on how self-management support can be effectively implemented in burn care. The findings are expected to inform both clinical practice and future implementation efforts in burn aftercare settings.
