The relationship between academic motivation and moral sensitivity in nursing students.
Article in BMC medical education, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundA Bachelor's degree in nursing is one of the most challenging programs in the field of medical sciences. As a result, maintaining students' academic motivation at the desired level is a constant concern for policymakers and educational administrators. Furthermore, tackling complex ethical dilemmas is inherent in nursing, making the educational period an important moment to instill moral sensitivity and reinforce professional ethics in students. This study aimed to investigate the association between academic motivation and moral sensitivity among undergraduate nursing students.
methodsIn this descriptive-correlational study, 265 undergraduate nursing students from the Abhar School of Nursing at Zanjan University of Medical Sciences in Iran were chosen using a census approach in 2024. The data collection tools included demographic surveys, the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS), and the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire (MSQ), all completed online. The data were analyzed with SPSS version 16 software, which used descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression) with a significance level of 0.05.
resultsNursing students had average academic motivation and moral sensitivity ratings of 79.24 ± 14.05 and 121.12 ± 16.33, respectively. Furthermore, a significant relationship was found between the overall scores and all dimensions of academic motivation and moral sensitivity (p < 0.001). Additionally, 29.1% of the variance in moral sensitivity was explained by the dimensions of the student's academic motivation.
conclusionThis study's findings revealed a link between academic motivation and moral sensitivity among nursing students. As a result, it is advised that levels of academic motivation be continually checked during the program. This will assist in identifying students at danger of losing motivation and allow for the development and execution of effective initiatives to improve their academic engagement.
