Self-Efficacy-Based intervention for stress management in health centers employees.
Trial report in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundProfessional occupations for the healthcare workers are usually rife with occupational stress, especially when job demand exceeds the capabilities of the worker and workplace support. The effects of this condition include burnout, low well-being, and low-quality care. Accordingly, using self-efficacy theory of Bandura, the study appraises the impact of self-efficacy-based education intervention on stress management among health center employees of Ramhormoz County in Iran.
methodsThe quasi-experimental study was conducted on a sample of 103 employees drawn from urban and rural health centers, who were clustered for randomization into an intervention group (n = 49) and a control group (n = 54). The intervention constituted eight weekly 45-minute face-to-face self-efficacy sessions spread over two months. Before and two months after the intervention, data were collected with the Parker and DeCotiis Occupational Stress Questionnaire and the Schwarzer's General Self-Efficacy Questionnaire. Data analyses were conducted using paired, independent t-tests, and Mann-Whitney U-test using SPSS 27; a level of significance was set at p < 0.05.
resultsBefore the educational intervention, there were no significant differences in terms of job stress (p = 0.107), occupational anxiety (p = 0.280), occupational stress (p = 0.181), and self-efficacy (p = 0.176) between experimental and control groups. But after the intervention, there were significant differences between the groups in terms of job stress (p = 0.012), occupational stress (p = 0.034), and self-efficacy (p = 0.038). No significant difference found in occupational anxiety (p = 0.473).
conclusionThe effectiveness of the self-efficacy-based educational intervention was evident in its positive effect on stress management and coping techniques among health center employees in the Ramhormoz county. The study emphasized that training in self-efficacy could be beneficial for enhancing self-efficacy and reducing work stress in the interventional group-by linking individual competence to job adoption and stress management.
