The role of emotional labor in emotion regulation difficulties among social workers in Jordan.

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
Emotions represent essential resources in social work practice; however, difficulties in regulating them remain insufficiently explored, particularly in non-Western contexts. This study aimed to examine emotional labor (EL) strategies and difficulties in emotion regulation (DER) among social workers (SWs) in Jordan. A cross-sectional design was employed using a structured questionnaire administered to a purposive sample of 132 SWs in Amman. The findings indicated that SWs reported relatively low levels of EL strategy use and relatively high levels of DER, particularly in limited access to regulation strategies, impulse control difficulties, non-acceptance of emotional responses, and lack of emotional awareness. A statistically significant negative correlation was found between EL and DER (
