Identifying stressors and coping resources among Austrian farmers: A mixed-methods study for targeted prevention and health promotion.
Article in Preventive medicine reports, 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
objectiveFarmers face elevated mental health risks due to complex occupational stressors. This study examines subjectively perceived burdens and coping resources among Austrian farmers to inform targeted prevention.
methodsAn anonymous online survey conducted in Austria (October 2024-February 2025) included a sample of 2006 farmers. Two open-ended questions were analyzed using qualitative content analysis to identify categories of burdens and coping resources. These were subsequently analyzed using multivariable binary logistic regression models with sociodemographic, occupational, and mental health variables as predictors.
resultsFarmers reported a multifaceted stress experience, with professional (36.3%) and financial burdens (21.1%) most frequently mentioned. Social contacts (30.9%) and personal resources and competencies (19.6%) emerged as the main coping resources. Regression analyses revealed distinct risk and coping profiles: professional burdens were associated with higher age and anxiety symptoms, while familial and interpersonal burdens were more likely among women, younger farmers, and those with depression or problematic alcohol use. Notably, reporting no coping resources was associated with older age and clinically relevant anxiety symptoms.
conclusionsThe findings provide an evidence base for targeted, multi-level preventive interventions aimed at reducing mental health risks and strengthening coping resources in agricultural populations.
