Latent Profile Analysis of Resilience and its Relationship With Empathy for Pain Among Chinese Clinical Nurses

The resilience of clinical nurses was categorized into three distinct categories, and significant variability was observed between these categories. The high-resilience stable group demonstrated the highest levels of empathy reactions and the lowest levels of body and mind discomfort reactions, whereas the low-resilience group performed the worst. Nursing administrators can thus formulate targeted interventions and policies based on the specific subgroup characteristics of clinical nurses' resilience to enhance resilience levels across different categories, reduce physical and mental discomfort, and improve empathy for pain capabilities, aiming to effectively enhance the mental and physical health of clinical nurses and optimize pain management.
