Risk factors for anxiety, depression, stress, and their comorbidities among nurses: a prospective cohort from 2020 to 2022.

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
backgroundNurses are at the forefront of healthcare delivery during the COVID-19, placing them at an increased risk for mental health issues. This study aimed to identify the risk factors for anxiety, depression, stress, and their comorbidities among nurses during the 2020-2022 period.
methodsA prospective cohort of nurses in Zunyi City, China, was followed from 2020 to 2022. The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) were used to assess anxiety, depression, and stress, respectively. A self-reported questionnaire was utilized to collect data on demographic characteristics, lifestyle habits, socioeconomic status, work-related factors, and medical history. The Healthy Eating Index (HEI) was calculated to evaluate diet quality. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the associations between risk factors and mental health outcomes.
resultsAmong the 516 participating nurses, the incidence rates of new-onset anxiety, depression, and stress were 27.1%, 33.9%, and 39.9%, respectively. Frontline experience with infected patients, night shift work, longer working hours, and higher body mass index were consistently associated with increased risks of anxiety, depression, and stress, whereas a higher healthy eating index score was linked to reduced odds of these mental health outcomes. Notably, higher BMI (≥ 28: OR = 1.67, 95% CI: 1.12-2.16, p = 0.011), night shifts (> 1/week: OR = 5.12, 95% CI: 3.64-5.99, p < 0.001), longer working hours (> 40/week: OR = 1.99, 95% CI: 1.66-2.89, p < 0.001), and frontline experience (OR = 6.11, 95% CI: 4.52-8.88, p < 0.001) significantly increased comorbidity risk, while higher HEI (> 3: OR = 0.51, 95% CI: 0.36-0.70, p < 0.001) reduced the risk.
conclusionOur study highlights the considerable mental health burden among nurses during the 2020-2022 period and identifies key risk factors associated with anxiety, depression, stress, and their comorbidities. These findings underscore the importance of providing targeted interventions and support for nurses, including workload management, work-life balance promotion, and healthy lifestyle encouragement, to mitigate the negative consequences of identified risk factors and improve mental health outcomes.
