Explaining Associations Between Adverse Childhood Experiences and Spiritual Well-Being Through Resilient Mindset, Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Among Turkish University Students.

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
purposeThis study addresses an important gap in understanding the mechanisms linking adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) to spiritual well-being. Specifically, it tested the serial mediating roles of resilient mindset and psychological distress-depression, anxiety, and stress-in both independent and sequential pathways. By controlling for age and gender, the study aimed to clarify how resilience and distress jointly explain the relationship between ACEs and spiritual well-being.
methodA cross-sectional design was used to conduct this study. A total of 686 university students participated in this study (75.4% females; M = 21.5, SD = 2.21). FINDING: The results showed that higher ACEs were associated with lower spiritual well-being, with a significant total effect (B = -0.64). Significant indirect effects supported the mediating roles of resilient mindset (B = -0.06) and psychological distress, including depression (B = -0.14), anxiety (B = -0.09), and stress (B = -0.09). Serial mediation analyses further showed that ACEs were indirectly associated with spiritual well-being through resilient mindset, followed by depression (B = -0.03), anxiety (B = -0.01), and stress (B = -0.01).
conclusionThese findings suggest that developing a resilient mindset and reducing psychological distress may be important in reducing the effects of ACEs on well-being.
