The Status of and Factors Associated With Quiet Quitting Among Clinical Nurses: An Evaluation and Latent Profile Analysis.
Article in Journal of nursing management, 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 examine the prevalence and latent profiles of quiet quitting among clinical nurses and identify factors associated with this condition across different nurse subgroups.
backgroundQuiet quitting among clinical nurses poses a hidden threat to nursing workforce stability and quality of care. Burnout, work-family conflict, and professional identity are closely associated with quiet quitting in nurses. However, academic studies examined quiet quitting as a single global construct, without identifying the potentially heterogeneous profiles within the nursing workforce.
methodsConvenience sampling was used to recruit clinical nurses employed at a Grade A tertiary hospital in Zhejiang Province between September 4 and 30, 2025. Data were collected using five questionnaires. The components used for the analysis included a general information questionnaire, the Quiet Quitting Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory, Work-Family Conflict Scale, and Professional Identity Scale. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to identify characteristic profiles of quiet quitting among nurses. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the factors associated with the different latent profile categories.
resultsIn total, 307 nurses participated in this study. The prevalence of quiet quitting was 76.2%, with an average score of 2.41 ± 0.56 points per item on the quiet-quitting scale. The LPA identified three distinct quiet-quitting profiles of nurses: "Conscientious Type" (21.82%), the "Observant Type" (65.15%), and the "Disengaged Type" (13.03%). Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that burnout, professional identity, and professional title were factors associated with "Observant Type" nurses. In contrast, burnout, work-family conflict, and professional title were identified as factors associated with "Disengaged Type" nurses.
conclusionsBurnout, work-family conflict, professional identity, and professional title were identified as factors associated with quiet quitting among clinical nurses. Nursing administrators should develop targeted intervention strategies based on the characteristics of each identified nursing profile. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: Nursing administrators should implement profile-stratified interventions (psychological support, workload optimization, equitable recognition, and structured professional development) alongside structural empowerment and transparent reward systems to strengthen the professional identity and workforce stability of nursing staff.
