Latent Profiles of Publication Pressure Among Nurses and Associated Factors: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Observational study 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
aimTo explore the heterogeneity of publication pressure among nursing staff by identifying latent profiles and examining associated factors, with the aim of informing targeted research support and individualized stress-management strategies.
designA cross-sectional study.
methodsBetween April and September 2025, 508 nursing staff members were recruited by convenience sampling from a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou, China. Participants completed measures of publication pressure, nursing research competence, general self-efficacy, and job burnout. Latent profile analysis identified publication-pressure profiles, and a bias-adjusted three-step multinomial regression examined factors associated with profile membership while accounting for classification uncertainty.
resultsFour publication-pressure profiles were identified: low-demand/limited-resource, moderate-pressure, high-demand/resource-supported, and high-demand/resource-constrained. Age, education level, marital status, work stress, and financial stress showed profile-specific associations. Higher nursing research competence and general self-efficacy were associated with lower odds of membership in the two high-demand profiles.
conclusionPublication pressure among nursing staff is heterogeneous, and nurses with similarly high publication demands may differ substantially in available resources. Distinguishing these patterns provides a practical basis for targeted nursing research management. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Profile-based management can help nursing managers match protected research time, mentorship, methodological support, and psychological resource support to nurses with different demand-resource patterns, especially those with high demands and constrained resources. IMPACT: This study addresses heterogeneity in nurses' publication pressure and identifies four distinct demand-resource patterns. The findings can inform more precise allocation of research support in tertiary hospitals and comparable clinical nursing settings. REPORTING
methodThe study was reported in accordance with the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guideline. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patients or members of the public were involved because the study focused on nurses' occupational and research-related experiences rather than patient-facing interventions or outcomes.
