Mediating roles of family functioning and self-efficacy in the relationship between depression and family resilience among kidney dialysis patients.
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 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
backgroundKidney dialysis patients often experience intensified depression after prolonged maintenance dialysis, which may diminish family resilience. Conversely, family functioning and self-efficacy might bolster resilience by serving as crucial internal resources. The mechanisms through which depression impact family resilience via these resources remain unclear.
methodsThe present study used a cross-sectional design and included 211 kidney dialysis patients. The study was conducted in Lanzhou, China. The participants were selected through convenience sampling from September 2023 to January 2024. General Information Questionnaire, Depression subscale of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Family Resilience Rating Scale (FRRS), Family APGAR Index (APGAR) and Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire (GSES), were used for data collection. Independent-sample t-tests and one-way ANOVA determined the influential factors using SPSS 27.0. Structural equation modeling, executed with AMOS 24.0 software, validated the mediating effects of family functioning and self-efficacy between depression and family resilience.
resultsFamily resilience levels among kidney dialysis patients differed significantly by education level, marital status and per capita monthly income. Depression were inversely associated with family resilience. Family functioning (β = 0.22, p < 0.01) and self-efficacy (β = 0.04, p < 0.01) mediated the relationship between depression and family resilience, respectively.
conclusionsThis study provides further insights into the psychological mechanism of depression and family resilience in kidney dialysis patients. Caregivers can actively help kidney dialysis patients to reduce depression and improve the family functioning, so as to enhance the family resilience.
