1 · What the graph read from 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.

Abstract

objectiveTo evaluate the feasibility and potential effectiveness of a structured psychoeducational group program aimed at enhancing resilience and reducing burnout among primary healthcare workers.

designA single-arm pre-post implementation study conducted between September 2022 and February 2024. Trial registration at ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT05720429. SITE: 81 primary care centers of the Catalan Health Institute.

participantsPrimary care professionals from all occupational profiles were eligible.

interventionsA 11-session program, delivered by community psychologists, combined psychoeducational content, interactive activities, and relaxation techniques. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Outcomes were measured before and immediately after the intervention using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and the burnout subscale of the Professional Quality of Life Scale. Analyses included effect sizes and multivariate models to identify predictors of change.

resultsOf 1419 baseline participants, 387 (87.1% women; median age 47 years) completed both assessments. Resilience increased significantly post-intervention (p=0.001; effect size=0.21), with larger gains in men and younger participants. Burnout decreased significantly (p=0.001; effect size=0.21), particularly among physicians. Higher baseline secondary traumatic stress predicted greater burnout reduction. Program overall assessment, feasibility and satisfaction were high.

conclusionsThis psychoeducational group intervention was feasible, well-received, and associated with modest but significant improvements in resilience and burnout. Targeted benefits were observed for specific subgroups, suggesting value in tailoring content to professional role and baseline emotional burden.
