Burnout and Adverse Childhood Experiences in the Maternal and Child Health Workforce.
Article in Journal of primary care & community health. 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
backgroundBurnout has risen sharply since the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in healthcare. Emerging evidence suggests adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may increase burnout risk. This study examined the relationship between burnout and ACEs within the maternal and child health (MCH) workforce and assessed ACE prevalence.
methodsAn anonymous cross-sectional survey of MCH clinicians (n = 477) was administered via Qualtrics. Eligibility included being ≥18 years old, working in the MCH workforce, and practicing ≥1 year. Burnout was assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS). ACEs were measured using the ACE questionnaire with minor wording modification. ANOVA and linear regression were used to evaluate associations between ACE exposure and burnout.
resultsOver half (57%) reported ≥1 ACE; 31% reported ≥4. Burnout levels were high (Personal Accomplishment = 26.47 ± 8.94; Emotional Exhaustion = 32.98 ± 8.56; and Depersonalization = 15.62 ± 5.82). Participants with ≥4 ACEs had significantly higher emotional exhaustion and lower personal accomplishment. Those with 1 to 2 ACEs had lower emotional exhaustion and depersonalization than those with zero ACEs.
conclusionThe MCH workforce shows a high prevalence of ACEs and elevated burnout. A dose-response relationship was observed, with ≥4 ACEs associated with greater burnout. However, lower burnout among those with 1 to 2 ACEs suggests possible resilience pathways. Workforce programs should account for early life adversity and integrate resilience-informed approaches.
