The Mediating Role of Spiritual Intelligence in the Relationships Among Well-Being, Professional Self-Concept and Empathy Among Nurses.
Article in Nursing open, 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
aimThis study examined the potential mediating role of spiritual intelligence in the relationships among well-being, professional self-concept and empathy among nurses.
designA descriptive cross-sectional study design was adopted.
methodsThe study included 143 nurses from one university hospital in Lebanon. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to test the hypothesized mediation model involving well-being, professional self-concept, empathy and spiritual intelligence.
resultsSpiritual intelligence showed moderate positive correlations with well-being (r = 0.53, p < 0.01), professional self-concept (r = 0.54, p < 0.01) and empathy (r = 0.51, p < 0.01). Well-being also correlated positively with professional self-concept (r = 0.42, p < 0.01) and empathy (r = 0.52, p < 0.01). Professional self-concept showed a positive correlation with empathy (r = 0.43, p < 0.01). Path analysis suggested that spiritual intelligence may play a mediating role in these associations (p < 0.01).
conclusionSpiritual intelligence shows significant associations with pathways connecting professional self-concept and well-being to nurses' empathy. These findings support the development of targeted interventions and training programmes to strengthen spiritual intelligence in healthcare professionals, potentially fostering positive work environments and improved patient outcomes.
