Current situation and influencing factors of knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to depression among parents of adolescents with depression.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 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
objectiveTo assess depression-related knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) among parents of adolescents hospitalized with depression and to identify associated factors.
methodsUsing purposive sampling, we surveyed 138 parents of adolescents with depression hospitalized at our center (December 2023-September 2024). Participants completed a 25-item questionnaire covering knowledge (10 items), attitudes (9 items), and practices (6 items). Group differences were examined using independent-samples t tests or one-way ANOVA (with appropriate nonparametric tests when assumptions were not met). Multiple linear regression was performed to identify factors associated with KAP (overall and by subdomain).
resultsMean standardized scores (0-100) were 54.33 ± 13.59 for knowledge, 59.29 ± 10.93 for attitudes, 73.77 ± 12.20 for practices, and 60.78 ± 7.46 overall. Knowledge, attitudes, and overall scores differed by age, occupation, and education. Knowledge, practices, and overall scores differed by education, monthly income, and residence. In multivariable models, age, occupation, education, and income were independently associated with the overall KAP score (all p < 0.05).
conclusionParents of adolescents with depression demonstrated limited disease-related knowledge, comparatively negative attitudes, and moderate practices. These findings highlight the need for targeted psychoeducation and support to improve parental mental health literacy in the inpatient setting.
