Correlation between death-coping self-efficacy and personality traits of intensive care unit nurses: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThis study aimed to explore the association between different personality traits and death-coping self-efficacy of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses.
methodsA total of 350 questionnaires were distributed, and 301 valid questionnaires were finally collected. The research tools included a general information questionnaire and a death-coping self-efficacy questionnaire to collect nurses' demographic information.
resultsThe overall score of ICU nurses' death-coping self-efficacy was 98.52 ± 18.18, of which the hospice care dimension had the highest score (44.70 ± 8.25) and the grief coping dimension had the lowest score (28.21 ± 6.76). Personality traits of conscientiousness (p < 0.001), agreeableness (p < 0.001) and openness (p < 0.001) were significantly positively correlated with death-coping self-efficacy, whereas neuroticism was significantly negatively correlated with it (p < 0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that whether or not they had participated in palliative care education courses within 1 year (p = 0.022), the experience of accompanying the death of a family member (p < 0.001), their attitude towards death (p < 0.001), as well as rigour (p = 0.002), agreeableness (p < 0.001) and openness (p < 0.001) were important influencing factors of death-coping self-efficacy, with a model determination coefficient R
conclusionThe self-efficacy of ICU nurses in coping with death is at a moderate to high level, and different personality traits have a significant impact on their self-efficacy in coping with death. High conscientiousness, agreeableness and openness personality traits help to improve self-efficacy in coping with death, whereas high neuroticism may reduce it.
