A survey on mental health among resident physicians: psychological resilience as a mediator.
Article in BMC psychiatry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundSleep disturbances (SD) among resident physicians have been shown to negatively impact their mental health, potentially leading to suicidal ideation (SI) and reduced life satisfaction (LS). Psychological resilience (PR) is thought to buffer the negative effects of stressors, including SD, and may play a mediating role in this relationship. However, the specific mechanisms linking SD, PR, SI, and LS remain underexplored. This study aimed to examine the mediating role of PR in the relationship between SD, SI, and LS among resident physicians in China, building upon existing theories of resilience and stress in medical professionals.
methodsAn anonymous four-part survey was conducted with 453 resident physicians training in tertiary hospital in China. Descriptive statistics and correlation analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software (version 27.0). The study employed structural equation modeling(SEM) to examine the interplay of variables and conducted a multiple-group analysis using Analysis of Moment Structure (version 23.0).
resultsBased on a hypothetical model, SEM revealed that PR played a partial mediating role in the relationship between SD and SI (52.10% of the total effect of SD on SI was direct, and 47.90% of the total effect was mediated by PR). Moreover, in the relationship between SD and LS, PR also acted as a partial mediator, accounting for 79.00% of the direct effect of SD on LS and 21.00% of the effect mediated by PR. The multiple-group analysis further revealed that individuals over 25 years exercise more PR to enhance LS (t = 2.703, p < 0.01), and those with normal weight were less affected by SD in terms of LS (t = - 2.322, p = 0.02).
conclusionsPR serves as a significant mediator in the relationship between SD and both SI and LS. These findings highlight the importance of fostering PR in resident physicians to mitigate the adverse effects of SD on their mental health and well-being. Policymakers and medical institutions should prioritize interventions aimed at improving sleep quality and supporting mental health to enhance the overall well-being of resident physicians.
