Latent profile analysis of moral resilience among clinical nurses and its association with ethical behavior: a multi-hospital cross-sectional study in China.

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
Objective: To explore the categories of the moral resilience latent profile of clinical nurses, analyze the influencing factors of different categories, and explore the correlation between them and ethical behavior. Methods: By convenience sampling, nurses from 16 level-two-and-above hospitals in China were selected as the research subjects from May to June 2025. The Chinese version of the moral resilience Scale and the revised version of the Nurses' Ethical Behavior Scale were used to survey the enrolled research subjects. Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) was performed in Mplus 8.3 to identify subgroups based on moral resilience scores. Model selection relied on the lowest AIC, BIC, and aBIC values, entropy > 0.80, and significant LMR-LRT/BLRT statistics. Results: The scores of moral resilience and ethical behavior of clinical nurses were (44.27 ± 5.33) and (41.08 ± 6.34) respectively. The clinical nursing ethics elastic latent section is divided into three categories: Category 1 (C1) is the "high moral resilience group," accounting for 28.1% (95 cases); Category 2 (C2) is the "medium moral resilience group," accounting for 46.2% (156 cases); Category 3 (C3) is the "low moral resilience group," accounting for 25.7% (87 cases). Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in nursing age (χ Conclusion: Latent profile analysis was applied in this study. The moral resilience of clinical nurses was divided into three categories. The moral resilience of different profiles is closely related to the level of ethical behavior of clinical nurses. Based on these findings, healthcare institutions should implement targeted intervention strategies tailored to the heterogeneous characteristics of nurses' moral resilience, enhancing their moral resilience levels by optimizing organizational support and ethics training mechanisms; this approach subsequently standardizes clinical ethical behavior and improves patient care quality, offering significant implications for strengthening human resource management in health systems and advancing public health practice.
