Occupational burnout, self-compassion, and general health among dietitians in Türkiye: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC health services research, 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
backgroundThis study examined occupational burnout among dietitians in Türkiye and investigated whether self-compassion and general psychological health were associated with burnout levels. It also examined whether burnout differed across demographic and occupational subgroups.
methodsIn this cross-sectional study, 382 actively practicing dietitians in Türkiye completed an online survey. Data collection instruments included the Maslach Burnout Inventory, Burnout Measure Short Version, Self-Compassion Scale, and General Health Questionnaire-12. Correlations, group comparisons, and regression analyses were performed to examine associations between burnout, self-compassion, psychological health, and occupational characteristics.
resultsHigher burnout scores were significantly associated with lower self-compassion and poorer psychological health (p < 0.001). Higher self-compassion was associated with a more favorable burnout profile after adjustment for relevant covariates. Burnout also varied by occupational context. Dietitians working in the private sector and in foodservice/mass catering and research and development roles showed less favorable burnout-related patterns, including higher emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and lower personal accomplishment in relevant comparisons.
conclusionBurnout among dietitians in Türkiye was associated with both occupational context and individual psychological factors. Higher self-compassion and better general psychological health were associated with lower burnout scores. These findings suggest that workplace conditions and psychological resources should be considered in future longitudinal research and intervention planning aimed at supporting dietitians' occupational well-being and psychological resilience.
