    SciScore for 10.1101/2021.07.28.21261304: (What is this?)

    Please note, not all rigor criteria are appropriate for all manuscripts.

    Results from OddPub: We did not detect open data. We also did not detect open code. Researchers are encouraged to share open data when possible (see Nature blog).

    Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:
    In designing follow-up work, several limitations of this study should be considered. The non-randomized design of this study, although necessary given the high level of need of the sample, limits the inferences that can be made from these findings. Also, enrollment was likely affected by the fact that these healthcare employees were being flooded daily with lengthy emails regarding COVID-19-related information and supports, some of which included information about this study. This “information overload”, and the other multiple new demands associated with the crisis, may have also interfered with the capacity of participants to both view the videos and complete all three assessments. In summary, this study provides preliminary evidence for the efficacy of a brief online intervention for improving resilience and decreasing emotional distress in healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because some healthcare workers will likely need ongoing, additional support after the pandemic has subsided, resilience-enhancing interventions that are tailored to meet the needs of this population at subsequent points in time should also be developed and implemented.

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
