Latent profile analysis of resilience and its relationship with depression-anxiety-stress among Chinese nursing students: a cross-sectional study.

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
backgroundResilience is an important psychological resource for nursing students, but little is known about how item-level resilience profiles relate to depression, anxiety and stress among Chinese nursing students. We identified resilience profiles and examined their associations with these symptoms.
methodsA cross-sectional study included 2,378 nursing students from four medical colleges in Hubei Province, China. Data were collected between January 2025 and March 2026. Resilience was assessed with the 25-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Depression-Anxiety-Stress with the 21-item Depression Anxiety Stress Scales. Latent profile analysis was used to identify resilience profiles. Chi-square tests, multinomial logistic regression, the Bolck-Croon-Hagenaars procedure and hierarchical linear regression were used to examine profile characteristics and Depression-Anxiety-Stress outcomes.
resultsThe three-profile solution (entropy = 0.958) comprised a lower adversity-adaptation profile (52.2%), an intermediate profile (40.6%) and a higher profile (7.2%). Depression, anxiety, stress and total DASS-21 scores followed a graded pattern across the profiles (all p < 0.001). Relative to the higher profile, the lower and intermediate profiles were associated with 18.661- and 5.775-point higher total DASS-21 scores, respectively. The model with six demographic, family and relational covariates explained 8.7% of the variance (R² = 0.087); adding profile membership increased explained variance to 18.1% (R² = 0.181; ΔR² = 0.094).
conclusionsThree relative adversity-adaptation profiles were identified among Chinese nursing students, with differences in sociodemographic and relational characteristics. Depression, anxiety and stress scores were highest in the lower profile and lowest in the higher profile. After adjustment, both the lower and intermediate profiles remained associated with higher total DASS-21 scores than the higher profile. These findings may help nursing schools combine universal support with direct symptom assessment and mentoring based on students' needs. Longitudinal and intervention studies are needed to determine whether profile-informed support improves outcomes.
