The effect of yoga on the level of burnout and happiness in midwifery students: randomized controlled study.
Trial report in BMC psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07321132 (The Effect of Yoga on the Level of Burnout and Happiness in Midwifery Students), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundGiven the demanding nature of midwifery education, it is important to examine whether yoga can positively influence students' burnout and happiness levels. This study aimed to examine the levels of burnout and happiness among midwifery students who practice yoga and those who do not.
methodsThe research was conducted using a randomized controlled experimental design. A total of 74 s-year students from the Midwifery Department at Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University, who met the eligibility criteria, were randomly assigned to the experimental (n = 35) and control (n = 37) groups. The experimental group participated in a yoga program consisting of 18 sessions over six weeks, with three sessions per week. Data were collected using the Maslach Burnout Inventory - Student Scale (MBI-SS) and the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire short form-OHQ-SF. Parametric tests, correlation, and logistic regression methods were used for analysis.
resultsStudents practicing yoga had significantly lower scores in "Exhaustion" and "Cynicism", and significantly higher scores in "Efficacy" and "Happiness" (p < 0.001). Yoga practice was found to significantly predict happiness levels (p = 0.001), while no direct effect on burnout levels was determined.
conclusionYoga practice increases happiness levels among midwifery students. It is recommended to integrate mindfulness-based practices such as yoga into educational programs to help students cope with academic and professional stress.
