Comparative analysis of the impact of moral sensitivity on service behavior between Chinese and Pakistani nurses.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. 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
backgroundThe service behavior of nurses is highly important for enhancing the level of hospital nursing care. However, there is currently a lack of research exploring the impact of moral sensitivity on the service behavior of nurses from an ethical perspective. Additionally, less is known about the effects of nationality differences on this relationship.
aimTo investigate the relationship between nurses' moral sensitivity and service behaviors and compare the differences between Chinese nurses and Pakistani nurses.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted. A total of 742 nurses from China and Pakistan were investigated via the moral sensitivity scale and the service behavior scale from March to May 2023. SPSS and Mplus statistical software were used in the data analysis.
resultsThe moral sensitivity of Chinese nurses significantly positively affects their in-role service behavior (β = 0.311, 95% CI= [0.224, 0.399], p < 0.001) and extra-role service behavior (b = 0.418, 95% CI= [0.334, 0.501], p < 0.001). The moral sensitivity of Pakistani nurses has a significant positive effect on their in-role service behavior (b = 0.178, 95% CI= [0.054,0.303], p < 0.01) and extra-role service behavior (b = 0.135, 95% CI= [0.023, 0.247], p < 0.05). Nationality differences have a significant moderating effect on the relationship between nurses' moral sensitivity and service behavior (b = 0.298, 95% CI= [0.138,0.438]; p < 0.001; b = 0.520, 95% CI= [0.357,0.682]; p < 0.001).
conclusionOur results indicate that, in both China and Pakistan, nurses' moral sensitivity positively influences their service behaviors. Furthermore, the moral sensitivity of Chinese nurses has a more significant impact on both in-role and extra-role service behaviors compared to that of Pakistani nurses. These findings may assist healthcare administrators and policymakers in considering national differences when seeking to enhance nurses' moral sensitivity and, subsequently, improve service behaviors.
