Assessing the categories and influencing factors of the professional identity among new 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 5 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
backgroundThis study aims to explore the latent classes of professional identity among new nurses and to identify the factors influencing their professional identity.
methodsA convenience sampling method was employed to recruit 256 new nurses from tertiary general hospitals in Shanghai in September 2024. Data were gathered through a general data questionnaire, the Nurse Professional Identity Scale (NPIS), the Task Load Index Scale, and the Psychological Resilience Scale. Latent profile analysis was conducted using the five dimensions of the NPIS as manifest indicators, while influencing factors were analyzed through univariate and multivariate logistic ordinal regression.
resultsA total of 248 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 96.87%. The mean overall professional identity score of new nurses was 98.01 ± 21.14, reflecting a moderate level of identity. Three latent profiles of professional identity were identified: high-identification/confident type (11.7%), moderate-identification/conventional type (16.9%), and low-identification/apathetic type (71.4%). Univariate analysis showed no significant differences in demographic characteristics, while psychological resilience and task load exhibited clinically significant variations (p < 0.001, P = 0.009). Ordinal logistic regression analysis revealed that psychological resilience was the primary influencing factor for the latent profiles of professional identity among new nurses (OR = 1.066, 95% CI = 1.046-1.086, P < 0.001).
conclusionThe professional identity of new nurses exhibits considerable heterogeneity, with 71.4% falling into the low-identification/apathetic category. Managers should focus on supporting nurses with lower professional identity. Psychological resilience acts as a protective factor across various identity profiles, and interventions to enhance resilience are recommended to stabilize the nursing workforce and promote the growth of nursing and healthcare.
