Resident Physician Perceptions of Wellness Interventions: A Single-Institution Qualitative Study.
Article in Cureus, 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
Introduction Resident physicians are at high risk for burnout and mental health conditions, which negatively impact patient care. In response, many residency programs have implemented wellness initiatives. However, more research is needed on how residents themselves perceive specific interventions. Thus, we qualitatively assessed residents' perceptions of graduate medical education (GME) administration-sponsored wellness interventions at an academic medical center. Methods Qualitative questions were adapted from a study on perceptions of workplace wellness initiatives and distributed to residents in May-June of 2024. An inductive thematic approach was used to identify common themes across aggregate responses. Results Seventy-eight respondents represented 18 residency programs. A slight majority of respondents identified as female (40/78, 51.3%). The largest proportion of respondents identified as White participants (36/78, 46.2%). Preferred wellness interventions included food, personal resources, and opportunities for social connections. Respondents had mixed views on giveaways. Respondents identified work hours and time off as major structural determinants of well-being. Respondents also referenced aspects of their work environments, including the negative impact of mistreatment and the importance of mentorship. Wellness initiatives that appear to favor certain residents, or that have limited availability for all residents, may negatively impact well-being. Conclusions Inclusion of residents from multiple programs provided broad input on GME-sponsored wellness initiatives. While social connections, food, and other resources enhance well-being, work environments and perceptions of inequity in wellness initiatives may negatively impact resident well-being. These themes may correspond with existing theoretical frameworks on physician well-being. Future multi-institutional studies would increase the reliability of these findings and inform improvements in GME-sponsored wellness initiatives.
