Psychological resilience as a mediator between sleep quality and mental well-being in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
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 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
backgroundObstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a prevalent sleep disorder associated with impaired sleep quality and adverse psychological outcomes. The potential mediating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between sleep quality and mental well-being in OSAS remains unclear.
objectiveThis study investigated whether psychological resilience mediates the relationship between sleep quality and mental well-being in patients with newly diagnosed OSAS.
methodsA total of 301 patients with newly diagnosed OSAS and 104 age-matched healthy controls were assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS). Group differences were analyzed using t-tests and ANOVA. Mediation analysis was conducted to evaluate the indirect effect of sleep quality on mental well-being through psychological resilience. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS version 21.0 software.
resultsPoor sleep quality was significantly more common among females, individuals with lower socioeconomic status, single participants, and those with higher education levels. Sleep quality was negatively correlated with psychological resilience (r = - 0.58) and mental well-being (r = - 0.43). Mediation analysis revealed that psychological resilience significantly mediated the relationship between sleep quality and mental well-being (β = - 0.26, 95% CI: - 0.33 to - 0.19, p < 0.001).
conclusionThese findings suggest that psychological resilience plays an important role in the link between poor sleep quality and diminished mental well-being in individuals with OSAS. Interventions aimed at enhancing resilience may offer psychological benefits in managing this population.
