Fear of future workplace violence and sleep quality in Chinese clinical nurses: the mediating role of anxiety and depression.
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 1 paper.
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
objectivesThis study aims to examine the associations among fear of future violence at workplace, anxiety, depression, and sleep quality among Chinese clinical nurses.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was carried out between June 2023 to July 2023 among Chinese clinical nurses who met the inclusion criteria. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire that included sociodemographic characteristics, fear of future violence at workplace (FFVW), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Data of sociodemographics, FFVW, sleep quality, anxiety, and depression were analyzed by parallel and serial mediation models to evaluate the impact of anxiety and depression on the relationship between FFVW and sleep quality.
resultsA negative correlation between FFVW and sleep quality was observed (r = 0.300, P < 0.01). Parallel mediation analysis showed that anxiety and depression significantly mediated the association between FFVW and poor sleep quality (β = 0.069, 95% CI [0.024, 0.113]; β = 0.091, 95% CI [0.047, 0.135]), accounting for 52.29% of the total effect. Serial mediation analyses further confirmed bidirectional pathways involving anxiety and depression in mediating the effect of FFVW on poor sleep quality (β = 0.078, 95% CI [0.041, 0.120]; β = 0.057, 95% CI [0.019, 0.098]), which explained 25.50% and 18.63% of the total effect, respectively.
conclusionsThese findings contribute towards a more comprehensive understanding of the manner in which FFVW, anxiety, and depression jointly affect sleep quality among clinical nurses. This study provides novel insights for preventing and intervening in poor sleep quality by identifying FFVW reduction as a critical target, with anxiety and depression serving as modifiable mediating pathways.
