Table 1_The relationship between secondary traumatic stress and secondary posttraumatic growth in clinical nurses: a cross-sectional study based on latent profile analysis.docx

Objective<p>This study aims to identify the latent profiles of secondary traumatic stress-secondary posttraumatic growth (STS-SPTG) among clinical nurses and explore factors associated with profile membership.</p>Methods<p>A convenience sampling method was used to recruit clinical nurses from a provincial tertiary Grade A hospital in Anhui Province between June and August 2024. Data were collected using the general information questionnaire, the Secondary Traumatic Stress Scale, the Secondary Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, the 10-item Big Five Inventory, and the Social Support Rating Scale.

Latent profile analysis was performed to identify distinct STS-SPTG profiles among clinical nurses, and multinomial logistic regression analysis was used to explore factors associated with profile membership.</p>Results<p>A total of 496 valid questionnaires were collected. Three latent profiles of STS-SPTG were identified among clinical nurses: the low-response profile (34.3%), the high-risk profile (42.3%), and the positive-growth profile (23.4%).
