Resilience, Well-Being, and Professional Practice Capabilities in New Graduate Nurses: A Longitudinal Mediation Study.
Article in Worldviews on evidence-based nursing, 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
SIGNIFICANCE/
backgroundNew graduate nurses experience substantial stress during the transition from student to professional practice, which may compromise their well-being and professional practice capabilities. While resilience has been identified as a protective psychological resource, limited longitudinal research has examined how resilience influences professional performance over time or whether well-being functions as a mediating mechanism. Understanding these dynamic relationships is critical for informing evidence-based strategies to support early-career nurses.
aimsThis study aimed to (1) examine temporal changes in resilience, well-being, and professional practice capabilities during the first 3 months of employment among new graduate nurses; (2) investigate associations among these variables; and (3) test whether well-being mediates the relationship between resilience and professional practice capabilities.
methodsA three-month longitudinal study was conducted with 72 newly graduated nurses. Measures of resilience, well-being, and five domains of professional practice capabilities (patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teamwork, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and technology application) were collected at baseline, 2 weeks, and 3 months. Pearson's r correlations, generalized estimating equations (GEEs), and Monte Carlo simulations were performed to examine temporal associations and indirect effects. RESULTS/
findingsResilience was significantly associated with well-being (B = 1.285, p < 0.001) and all domains of professional practice capabilities. Both resilience and well-being independently predicted patient-centered care, interdisciplinary teamwork, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and technology application. Monte Carlo simulations confirmed that well-being significantly mediated the relationship between resilience and all five performance domains. Improvements in well-being and several domains of professional practice capabilities were observed at 3 months. LINKING EVIDENCE TO ACTION: Resilience serves as a foundational psychological resource that supports new graduate nurses' professional practice capabilities. Well-being serves as a key mechanism translating resilience into evidence-based nursing behaviors. Early-career interventions that strengthen resilience and promote well-being may enhance professional practice capabilities and improve workforce retention during the critical transition period.
