Patterns of vicarious trauma and vicarious posttraumatic growth among oncology nurses: a latent profile analysis.
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
backgroundVicarious trauma (VT) and vicarious posttraumatic growth (VPTG) are potential psychological responses of oncology nurses to indirect exposure to traumatic events in long-term clinical practice. However, limited research has examined the concurrent patterns of VT and VPTG. This study aimed to identify the coexisting patterns of VT and VPTG among oncology nurses and explore the specific predictors of these subgroups.
methodsThe Medics' Vicarious Trauma Scale and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory were utilized to assess self-reported VT and VPTG among 401 Chinese oncology nurses across multiple hospitals in Zhejiang Province, China. Latent profile analysis was conducted to explore potential patterns of VT and VPTG, and multinomial logistic regression was applied to investigate factors influencing these profiles.
resultsThe latent profile analysis results indicated that a three-class profile best fit the data, characterized by the following patterns: mild VT - high VPTG (45.9%), mid VT - mid VPTG (30.2%), and mild VT - mild VPTG (23.9%). Variations in VT and VPTG patterns were associated with age, fertility status, job satisfaction, and social support.
conclusionThese findings enhance understanding of the coexisting patterns of VT and VPTG and provide valuable insights for clinical administrators to implement tailored managerial and supportive interventions for oncology nurses.
