Coping styles, resilience, and mental health symptoms in first-year medical students: a structural equation modeling approach in a cross-sectional study.
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 2 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
backgroundThis study examines the associations among coping styles, resilience and mental health symptoms among Chinese first-year medical students. It highlights the significance of understanding coping mechanisms and resilience in relation to the unique academic stressors medical students face, particularly during their first year.
methodsThe study involved 2,000 first-year medical students aged 16 to 22 from medical universities and colleges in China. Participants completed validated questionnaires, including the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (for resilience), the Simple Coping Styles Questionnaire (for coping styles), and the Symptom Checklist-90 (for mental health symptoms). Regression analysis was conducted to identify associations with mental health symptoms, and structural equation modeling was used to explore the mediating effects of coping styles on the relationship between resilience and mental health symptoms.
resultsBoth resilience and coping styles were significantly associated with mental health symptoms. Structural equation modeling indicated that positive and negative coping styles partially mediated the relationship between resilience and mental health symptoms.
conclusionsThis study suggests that resilience is related to mental health through its association with coping styles among first-year medical students. The findings may inform the design of tailored psychological interventions to support this population's mental well-being.
