Bridging the gap: family resilience as a mediator between parental psychological resilience and care competence in premature infant transitions.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundHigh levels of parental infant care competence could facilitate the transition of preterm infants from hospital to home and reduce their readmission rate and emergency visits after discharge. Researchers have confirmed psychological resilience and family resilience were excellent psychological resources that played important roles in the development of parental infant care competence. However, the interaction between these three variables in the parents of preterm infants remains unclear and requires further validation. This study aimed to explore the association between parental psychological resilience and premature infant care competence and the mediating role of family resilience on this relationship.
methodsA multi-center cross-sectional study recruited a convenience sample of 381 parents of premature infants across four public hospitals in East China between November 2022 and December 2023. Research instruments included Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Family Hardiness Index, and Premature Infant Care Competency Scale. Structure equation modeling (SEM) were used to detect mediating effect of family resilience, while controlling for covariates.
resultsThe average score of parental premature infant care competence was 134.02 points. Differences in levels of premature infant care competence were found across parental gender, education levels and pre-existing diseases. The results of SEM showed a direct relationship between the mentioned three covariates and transitional parental premature infant care competence, but not with family resilience. SEM also revealed psychological resilience as a significant predictor of transitional parental care competence, exerting both direct effects (β = 0.318, P < 0.001, 95%CI: [0.166, 0.464]) and indirect effects (β = 0.111, P = 0.001, 95%CI: [0.049, 0.183]) mediated through family resilience.
conclusionsThe findings suggested higher psychological resilience related to better family resilience which can provide supportive environment, thus contributing to increased parental premature infant care competence. Future researchers could pay more attention to the early resilience assessment of parents and family resilience improvements based on the formation of therapeutic alliance with the entire family system of preterm babies.
