Psychological resilience and perceived stress among Chinese medical students: mediation between optimistic intelligence quotient and adversity quotient.
Article in BMC medical education, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
backgroundChinese medical students face rigorous academic demands and exacting professional challenges, which lead to significant psychological stress. Understanding perceived stress and psychological resilience is key to enhancing emotional regulation and empathy. This study explores the hypothesis that psychological resilience impacts the perceived stress of medical students, with the Optimistic Intelligence Quotient (OQ) and the Adversity Quotient (AQ) acting as serial mediators, thereby promoting students' mental health.
methodsA questionnaire survey was conducted to assess psychological resilience, perceived stress, OQ, and AQ among students from the top 20 medical colleges in mainland China. Using random sampling, 60 students per institution were selected, yielding 1,024 valid responses from 1,200 distributed questionnaires. Data were analyzed using correlation and mediation analysis.
resultsThe results showed a significant negative correlation between psychological resilience and perceived stress. OQ was significantly associated with reduced stress and enhanced overall well-being, while AQ was related to stress management skills.A serial mediation pathway was identified from psychological resilience to OQ and AQ, forming a chain influencing perceived stress.
conclusionsThis study highlights the current psychological stress among Chinese medical students and the serial mediating roles of OQ and AQ. Tailored interventions in medical education should focus on enhancing psychological resilience to reduce perceived stress. Future research should explore alternative frameworks in positive psychology and develop new stress management intervention models.
