Workplace violence, psychological capital, and professional identity among Chinese nursing interns: a latent profile and mediation analysis.

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
Aims: To identify latent professional identity profiles among nursing interns and to examine the influencing mechanisms of workplace violence (WPV) and psychological capital (PsyCap) on these profiles. Background: Developing a strong professional identity is crucial for nursing interns' transition to clinical practice and addressing the global nursing shortage. However, professional identity formation varies, and its heterogeneity among interns remains poorly understood. Identifying distinct identity subgroups and clarifying influencing mechanisms can help provide tailored educational support. Methods: Convenience sampling recruited 313 nursing interns from tertiary hospitals across 9 provinces in China between November 2023 and April 2024. The survey included general information questionnaires, workplace violence scales, professional identity questionnaire, and positive psychological capital questionnaire. Analyses of latent profiles and mediations were performed. Results: Among 301 participants, latent profile analysis revealed 3 distinct profiles: identity deficient (10.3%), moderate identity (47.2%), and high identity-low autonomy (42.5%). The results showed that self-efficacy, hope, and emotional abuse among nursing interns emerged as significant predictors of the category of professional identity ( Conclusion: The analysis revealed heterogeneity in nursing interns' professional identities. WPV and PsyCap are key factors influencing this heterogeneity, with PsyCap serving as a partial mediator. Targeted interventions based on identity profiles are recommended, alongside ensuring clinical safety and integrating PsyCap training into education to support the stability of the nursing workforce.
