Factors influencing Taiwanese patients' resilience and satisfaction with dialysis: a cross-sectional survey.
Article in BMC health services research, 2026. 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
backgroundResilience is a crucial feature of the nursing workforce, particularly among those working in dialysis care. Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) or chronic kidney disease need to be able to adjust and survive despite hardship. Studies have shown that enhanced resilience is correlated with increased life satisfaction and psychological endurance in individuals undergoing hemodialysis. Resilience is an adaptive coping capacity that can strengthen the benefit of structured care on trust while buffering reliance on interpersonal support, potentially yielding opposing moderation patterns across pathways. This study investigated the psychosocial determinants that influence the satisfaction and resilience of patients in dialysis and explored global challenges, including healthcare environment, provider-patient interactions, and medical procedures in Taiwan.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted with 380 stable dialysis patients who had undergone dialysis for more than 3 months without complications at a medical center in Taiwan between September and October 2022. Participants completed Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) questionnaires assessing resilience, trust, treatment satisfaction, and perceived quality of environmental conditions. The questionnaires were primarily self-administered (paper-based). The data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to evaluate relationships and moderating effects. Analysis with PLS-SEM was selected for its suitability to prediction-oriented modeling with interaction (moderation) effects and complex latent constructs.
resultsResilience significantly enhanced the positive relationship between medical processes and patient trust but negatively moderated the association between nursing care and trust. High-quality environmental facilities (featuring cleanliness, comfort, privacy, adequate physical layout, and adequate equipment in the dialysis unit) and physician interactions were crucial factors that strengthened patient resilience. Moreover, patient trust strongly predicted satisfaction with dialysis care. Demographic variables, including age, gender, and dialysis modality, were not significant predictors of satisfaction.
conclusionsResilience substantially influenced patient trust and satisfaction in dialysis care. The integration of resilience-focused strategies, enhancement of care environments, and facilitation of effective communication among healthcare providers are recommended as essential measures for optimizing patient outcomes in chronic dialysis settings. Negative moderation suggests that, when resilience is high, patients may rely more extensively on internal coping and less on interpersonal reassurance, thus weakening the incremental effects of nursing support on trust. The findings may inform settings with comparable dialysis care structures and frameworks of patient-experience monitoring.
