NCT ID NCT07278219
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a Balint-based group intervention could reduce burnout and improve communication skills in nurses. Thirty nurses were randomly assigned to either six weekly online Balint sessions or their usual routine. Burnout and communication skills were measured before, right after, and at one and three months after the sessions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Balint-based group intervention (behavioral)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to reduce burnout and improve communication among nurses.
What could go wrong
This is a very small study (30 nurses) with no blinding, so results may not apply widely. The intervention is short (6 sessions) and effects may not last.
