Family Resilience and Family Adaptation in Caregivers of Disabled Older Adults: A Latent Profile Analysis.
Article in Geriatrics & gerontology international, 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
aimsThis study aimed to identify latent profiles of family resilience among primary family caregivers of disabled older adults, investigate factors associated with these profiles, and examine their cross-sectional associations with family adaptation.
designA cross-sectional design with latent profile analysis.
methodsWe recruited 328 pairs of disabled older adults and their primary family caregivers from communities in Chengdu between April and November 2025. Data were collected on demographic and clinical characteristics, social support, family resilience, family adaptation, and disability level. To identify distinct family resilience profiles, latent profile analysis was employed. Factors associated with profile membership were then examined using multinomial logistic regression, and differences in family adaptation across profiles were tested with the BCH method.
resultsThree distinct family resilience profiles emerged: Stress-Dysfunctional (25.29%), Adaptive-Buffering (46.38%), and Integrative-Growth (28.34%). Profile membership was associated with urban residence, higher income, milder caregiving disability, and stronger social support. Furthermore, higher levels of family resilience were positively associated with better family adaptation.
conclusionsThis study demonstrates that distinct family resilience profiles are significantly associated with family adaptation outcomes. Key factors such as urban residence, higher household income, caring for older adults with milder disability, and stronger social support play a crucial role in shaping these resilience profiles. IMPACT: These three resilience profiles may assist nurses in identifying families at varying risk levels and inform the development of tailored psychosocial interventions for families caring for disabled older adults, thereby improving family adaptation and reducing caregiver burden. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: Disabled older adults and their primary family caregivers completed structured questionnaires as study subjects. They were not involved in study design, outcome measure selection, data analysis, or interpretation of findings.
