Work-family conflict and occupational fatigue among clinical nurses in China: a latent profile analysis.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Objective: To examine the impact of work-family conflict (WFC) on occupational fatigue among clinical nurses in China and to identify the heterogeneity of occupational fatigue using latent profile analysis (LPA). Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional survey was conducted between August and September 2025, involving 332 clinical nurses from six tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province, China. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Fatigue Assessment Instrument (FAI), and the Work-Family Conflict Scale (WFC). Latent profile analysis was applied to identify distinct subgroups of occupational fatigue. Univariate analyses and multinomial logistic regression were performed to explore factors associated with different fatigue profiles. Results: A total of 332 valid questionnaires were included (response rate: 97.08%). The mean occupational fatigue score was 22.07 ± 2.59. Three latent profiles were identified: the low-fatigue group (8.13%), moderate-fatigue group (31.02%), and high-fatigue group (60.84%). Significant differences were observed across the three groups in daily working hours, weekly working days, and levels of work-family conflict ( Conclusions: Occupational fatigue among clinical nurses exhibits significant heterogeneity and can be classified into three latent profiles. Work-family conflict was significantly associated with occupational fatigue profiles among clinical nurses. Nursing managers may adopt a profile-based approach to identify fatigue patterns and implement targeted interventions from an individual-differences perspective to reduce occupational fatigue among nurses.
