Enhancing Mental Resilience Among Frontline Nurses Post-COVID-19: A Non-Randomized Study of mHealth-Based Group Coping Skills Training.
Article in SAGE open nursing. 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: While the psychological impact on healthcare workers has been widely acknowledged, accessible interventions tailored to address these mental health challenges in the post-pandemic context remain limited. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the impact of a mHealth-based group coping skills training on the level of stress, anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms of frontline nurses post-COVID 19. Methods: A non-randomized pretest-posttest design was conducted. Ninety nurses who had direct contact with COVID-19 patients were selected through convenience sampling. The intervention group received access to a 2-week online multimedia psychoeducational program through a WhatsApp group, while the control group received standard educational content (text based). The Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) analysis was applied to evaluate the intervention's effects on the scores for depression, anxiety, stress, and PTSD across the follow-up. Results: The intervention group showed lower PTSD symptoms (-4.40; 95% CI: -7.07 to -1.66), depression (-1.60; 95% CI: -2.58 to -0.80), anxiety (-1.91; 95% CI: -3.06 to -0.77), and stress scores (-2.29; 95% CI: -3.61 to -0.97) compared to the control group, after adjusting for time points. GEE analysis confirmed that the intervention group had significantly lower PTSD symptoms (-5.54; 95% CI: -8.47 to -2.61), depression (-1.78; 95% CI: -2.73 to -0.83), anxiety (-2.52; 95% CI: -3.77 to -1.28), and stress scores (-2.96; 95% CI: -4.37 to -1.55) after adjusting for characteristic variables. Conclusion: The mHealth-based group coping skills training intervention significantly reduced PTSD symptoms, depression, anxiety, and stress scores among frontline nurses, with persistent benefits over time. These results highlight the potential of scalable, app-based and smartphone-enabled interventions delivered within an online group format to support the mental resilience of healthcare workers, underscoring the need for healthcare organizations to prioritize the implementation of such mobile-delivered programs to promote the well-being and retention of critical nursing staff.
