1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionThe mental health of nursing professionals is an escalating global concern, particularly due to the inherently challenging work conditions they frequently encounter. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of Minor Mental Disorders (MMD) and resilience levels among nursing professionals, analyzing the relationship between these constructs and identifying resilience's potential protective role.

methodsThis was a quantitative, descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional study. The sample consisted of 203 nursing professionals (including nursing assistants, technicians, and nurses) from two healthcare institutions in the interior of São Paulo, Brazil. Data were collected between August and October 2019. Instruments utilized included a sociodemographic and professional questionnaire, the Self-Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20) for MMD screening, and the Wagnild & Young Resilience Scale.

resultsThe overall prevalence of MMD in the studied sample was 31.0%. Mean scores for the SRQ-20 domains were observed as follows: Depressive/Anxious Mood (1.33), Somatic Symptoms (1.63), Reduced Vital Energy (1.77), and Depressive Thoughts (0.39). A key finding indicated that resilience did not demonstrate a significant direct predictive role on MMDs when the effect of quality of life was controlled. However, resilience showed a significant positive correlation with Quality of Life (QoL) (coef. = 0.515; DISCUSSION: These findings suggest that resilience may function as an indirect moderator or precursor to QoL, with QoL, in turn, exerting a more direct and substantial influence on the reduction of MMDs. This integrated perspective aligns with the understanding that resilience contributes to a more adaptive assessment of stressors and, consequently, to better QoL, thereby minimizing the detrimental effects of stress on mental health.

conclusionThis study reaffirms the high prevalence of Minor Mental Disorders among nursing professionals, highlighting Quality of Life as a primary target for interventions aimed at promoting mental well-being. It also emphasizes resilience as a valuable individual resource that indirectly supports mental health by enhancing QoL. A holistic understanding of occupational stressors, psychosocial, and biological mechanisms is crucial for developing effective and targeted support strategies for these essential professionals.
