Prevalence and correlates of perceived stress and psychological health among residents receiving standardized training: a multicenter cross-sectional survey study in China.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundMedical residents are increasingly conscious of psychological discomfort. However, comprehensive epidemiology on the prevalence and modifiable factors for their perceived stress and psychological health within China’s standardized residency training is lacking.
methodsThe multicenter cross-sectional survey used convenience sampling to recruit participants from 177 teaching hospitals across 28 Chinese regions. Anonymous online questionnaires assessed demographics, training routines, subjective stress levels, and validated measures, including the Chinese Perceived Stress Scale and the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90). A psychological health issue was defined as an SCL-90 total score ≥ 160, ≥ 43 positive items, or ≥ 2 in any symptom dimension.
resultsAmong 2,104 respondents, 49.6% reported a psychological health concern, with no significant differences by gender or training duration (P > 0.05). Modifiable risk factors included staying up late (OR = 1.300; 95% CI: 1.059–1.595), frequent night shifts (OR = 1.304; 95% CI: 1.058–1.608), CPSS score (OR = 1.179; 95% CI: 1.157–1.201), and worsening sleep quality (graded effect: relatively poor sleep quality, OR = 1.503; 95% CI: 1.089–2.074; inferior sleep quality, OR = 2.720; 95% CI: 1.395–5.305). CPSS score ≥ 27 best predicts morbidity (AUC = 0.796, sensitivity = 67.4%, specificity = 75.6%), with interpersonal stress (β = 0.149, P < 0.001) and clinical work stress (β = 0.139, P < 0.001) identified as key stressors.
conclusionApproximately 50% of Chinese medical residents exhibit psychological morbidity, primarily influenced by modifiable stressors. A CPSS score ≥ 27 serves as a preliminary screening threshold, indicating the necessity for training reforms focused on workload modulation and the enhancement of interpersonal skills.
