Latent profile analysis of sense of coherence and relationship with meaning of life and professional identity among nursing undergraduate.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundEnhancing nursing undergraduates' sense of coherence is crucial for the growth of the nursing workforce. Yet, existing research primarily examines the aggregate level of sense of coherence among nursing undergraduates and its correlations with other variables, overlooking the individual heterogeneity in nursing undergraduates' sense of coherence in nursing. This study aimed to identify different subgroups of nursing undergraduates' sense of coherence and explore the influencing factors pertinent to each subgroup.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from May to June 2020 among 1,251 nursing undergraduates using convenience sampling. Latent profile analysis was employed to identify subgroups of nursing undergraduates' sense of coherence, and multiple logistic regression was utilized to analyze the factors associated with each subgroup.
resultsFour potential subtypes of nursing undergraduates' sense of coherence were identified: low sensitivity-low coping group (25.7%), high sensitivity-high coping group (29.7%), moderate sensitivity-moderate coping group (17.8%), and high sensitivity-low coping group (26.8%). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that factors influencing nursing undergraduates' sense of coherence included family financial situation, high school subject choice, religious beliefs, belief in having good interpersonal relationships, meaning in life, and professional identity.
conclusionThe heterogeneity of nursing undergraduates' sense of coherence suggests that nursing educators should provide targeted intervention guidance according to the potential category characteristics of nursing undergraduates' sense of coherence; at the same time, they should strengthen the cultivation of nursing undergraduates' meaning of life and professional identity to improve their level of sense of coherence, so as to promote the growth of the nursing workforce.
