Associations of perceived social support, resilience and posttraumatic growth among young and middle-aged patients with first-episode psychosis.
Article in Frontiers in psychiatry, 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
Background: The prevalence of mental disorders among young and middle-aged populations has demonstrated a significant upward trend, with first-episode psychosis (FEP) frequently associated with psychological distress and functional impairments during initial onset. While persons affected by FEP frequently report psychological distress and reduced quality of life during early illness stages, they may also experience post-traumatic growth (PTG), which fosters positive changes that facilitate their recovery. Yet there is limited attention on PTG in young and middle-aged patients with FEP. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the level of PTG and identify significant correlates and mediators of PTG among young and middle-aged patients with FEP. Methods: From January 2021 to December 2023, two hundred eight patients with first-episode psychosis were enrolled from a tertiary hospital in Shandong Province, China, through convenience sampling. The Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), Posttraumatic Growth Inventory-Short Form (PTGI-SF), and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC10) were administered. Hierarchical linear regression modeling was performed to examine the associations between perceived social support and PTG and the mediating effect of resilience. Results: The PTG score was 31.22 ± 6.59, and resilience and PSS could positively predict the variance in PTG. Resilience partially mediated the relationship between PSS and PTG, and the value of the mediating effect was 22.8%. Conclusions: Young and middle-aged patients with FEP have a moderate level of PTG. Resilience partially mediates the relationship between PSS and PTG. Therefore, interventions focusing on promoting PSS and resilience should be developed to encourage PTG in young and middle-aged patients with FEP.
