The mediating effects of adaptive coping and sleep quality in the relationship between trait emotional intelligence and trauma outcomes.
Article in Discover mental 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
objectiveResponse to trauma varies from post-traumatic distress (PTS) to post-traumatic growth (PTG) seemingly depending on internal and external individual resources. This study examines the relationships among trait Emotional Intelligence (trait EI), sleep quality, adaptive coping, and differential outcomes of trauma, namely PTS and PTG, in adolescents exposed to collective chronic adversities, including the health pandemic and sociopolitical instability.
methodsThis cross-sectional study involved 612 high school students (323 women) aged between 14 and 21 (M = 16.44, SD = 1.25) from Lebanese public schools. Measures assessed trait EI through the (TEI-QUE), adaptive coping (Brief-COPE), post-traumatic stress (PCL-5), sleep quality through the Sleep Quality Assessment, and post-traumatic growth (PTGI-SF). Structural equation modelling (SEM) was performed with robust estimators.
resultsTrait EI directly and indirectly associated with PTS and PTG. We found positive relationships between trait EI and adaptive coping (β = 0.58, p < .001) and trait EI and sleep quality (β = 0.37, p < .001), and between adaptive coping, and both PTS (β = 0.46, p < .001) and PTG (β = 0.43, p < .001). In addition, we found negative relationships between sleep and PTS (β = - 0.1, p < .05) and PTG (β = - 0.15, p < .001). The pathways involving adaptive coping and sleep quality were significantly associated with both PTS (β = 0.23, p < .001) and PTG (β = 0.19, p < .001), respectively, in relation to trait EI.
conclusionsFindings indicate that trauma outcomes are associated with trait EI, adaptive coping strategies, and sleep quality. The study advocates for the integration of these evidence-based cognitive and behavioral trainings in educational programs designed for adolescents in high-risk environments.
