Childhood experience profiles and their impact on depression-burnout networks among nurses: a latent class and network analysis.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to use a person-centered approach to differentiate types of childhood experiences among nurses and explore whether the relationship between depression and burnout differs across these groups.
methodsThis study employed a cross-sectional design and conducted a questionnaire survey of 866 nurses using convenience sampling. Nurses in a general hospital were surveyed using the Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) and Benevolent Childhood Experience (BCE) scales, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Latent class analysis in Mplus 8.3 classified nurses by ACEs/BCEs patterns, and network analysis was conducted using the bootnet package in R 4.3.2 to visualize complex interactions between depression and burnout by constructing network diagrams.
resultsLatent class analysis identified two childhood experience profiles: Low ACEs/High BCEs (n = 648) and Moderate ACEs/Low BCEs (n = 218). Network analysis revealed stronger overall connections between depression and burnout symptoms in the Moderate ACEs/Low BCEs group, with Emotional Exhaustion acted as a bridge symptom, transmitting distress between depression and burnout, and thus representing a critical target for intervention. while Cynicism was also a key bridging symptom specifically in the Moderate ACEs/Low BCEs group.
conclusionsThese findings demonstrate that Chinese nurses’ childhood experiences cluster into distinct patterns, with Emotional Exhaustion and Cynicism representing critical intervention targets. Hospital administrators should prioritize monitoring emotional exhaustion and reducing cynicism, particularly among nurses with moderate ACEs/low BCEs, to safeguard workforce stability and patient care. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
