Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Low risk | Quote: "Participants were randomized into three groups (1:1:1 ratio) using computer‐generated random numbers, stratified by work position." |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Quote: "Allocation was executed by ordering subjects according to the random number within strata and assigning the subjects within each stratum to groups 1, 2, and 3, consecutively, until exhausting the number of subjects within each stratum." Insufficient information to understand whether intervention allocations could have been foreseen in advance of, during, enrolment. |
Blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias) All outcomes | High risk | Participants were not blinded. |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | High risk | Participants were not blinded whereas outcomes are self‐reported. |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | High risk | 52 of the 105 (50%) randomised participants were included in the analysis. Reasons not provided. Not reported whether lost to follow‐up at random. |
Selective reporting (reporting bias) | High risk | Trial registration: ISRCTN12039804. Did not report on Maslach Burnout Inventory and number of sick leaves in the previous three months |
Other bias | Unclear risk | Compliance rate and response rate not reported. |
