Nurses' professional quality of life profiles are significantly associated with posttraumatic growth.
A latent profile analysis of 1010 nurses from 10 tertiary hospitals in Sichuan, China identified three professional quality of life profiles: 'Depleted' (12.48%), 'Balanced' (63.96%), and 'Thriving' (23.56%). Hierarchical regression showed that these profiles were significantly associated with posttraumatic growth, indicating that nurses with different professional quality of life profiles experience different levels of posttraumatic growth.

Nurses' professional quality of life profiles are significantly associated with posttraumatic growth. The current body of evidence comprises 1 study. EvidenceHub rates the overall confidence at 32/100 (low).
The Claim
Nurses' professional quality of life profiles are significantly associated with posttraumatic growth.
This conclusion is most relevant to: Nurses (n=1010) from 10 tertiary general hospitals in Sichuan Province, China.
What the Research Shows
The conclusion draws on 1 linked study. Highlights from the cited literature:
- ▸Latent Profile Analysis of Professional Quality of Life and Its Relationship With Posttraumatic Growth Among Nurses: A Cross-Sectional Study. (Journal of nursing management, 2026) —
How It Works
The proposed biological pathway:
- ▸Nurses' professional quality of life is assessed via latent profile analysis
- ▸Three distinct profiles (Depleted, Balanced, Thriving) are identified
- ▸Profiles are associated with individual and work-related characteristics (e.g., marital status, exercise, sleep hours, work hours, shift, workplace violence)
- ▸Different profiles show significant differences in posttraumatic growth
Who Might Benefit
Evidence fit by population:
- ▸Nurses (n=1010) from 10 tertiary general hospitals in Sichuan Province, China
Recommended Dose
N/A
Limitations & Caveats
Important context when interpreting this evidence:
- ▸Cross-sectional design prevents causal inference
- ▸Sample limited to nurses from one province in China, limiting generalizability
Frequently Asked Questions

The three profiles are 'Depleted' (12.48%), 'Balanced' (63.96%), and 'Thriving' (23.56%).
What factors were associated with these professional quality of life profiles?▼
Profiles were associated with marital status, weekly exercise, daily sleep hours, weekly work hours, main shift, and workplace violence.
How was posttraumatic growth measured in this study?▼
Posttraumatic growth was measured using a questionnaire completed by the nurses.
What is the main finding regarding professional quality of life and posttraumatic growth?▼
Different professional quality of life profiles are significantly associated with posttraumatic growth among nurses.
