Impact of care guilt on the health status of female medical staff: a cross-sectional study.
Article in International journal for equity in health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundIn this study, we explored changes to female medical staff's health status under the influence of care guilt in the process of balancing work and family care responsibilities. The mediating role of time pressure within this nexus was examined, and an ideal concept derived from the Confucian cultural context, "Zhong-yong," was investigated as a moderator of the impact of care guilt on health status.
methodA questionnaire survey of 407 full-time female medical staff with family care needs, recruited using convenience sampling from eight hospitals in China, was conducted. The survey tools comprised the Relationship Guilt Scale, Dapkus' time pressure scale, Zhong-yong scale, and Self-rated health status scale. A moderated mediation model was established to test the hypotheses.
resultsCare guilt had a significant negative impact on health condition after controlling for variables such as age, educational level, and professional position. Time pressure mediated the association between care guilt and health status. Zhong-yong levels moderated the effects of care guilt on time pressure and had a direct effect on health condition. Care guilt weakened health condition, partly through the experience of time pressure. However, low levels of Zhong-yong predicted a greater negative impact of care guilt on health condition.
conclusionFemale medical staff require a comprehensive approach to balancing their work and family responsibilities to mitigate their experience of guilt and poor health.
