Predicting Clinical Dishonesty Among Nursing Students: The Impact of Personal and Contextual Factors.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2024. 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesNumerous studies have examined nursing students' academic dishonesty; however, there is still a gap in understanding the predictors of such behavior. This study aimed to identify personal (intrapersonal and interpersonal) and contextual factors predicting nursing students' dishonesty during clinical training.
methodsA two-phase, prospective, predictive study was conducted at a nursing faculty in Croatia. The validated "Mentor Support Evaluation Questionnaire" was used in the first phase to assess students' evaluations of the quality of mentor support during clinical training. The validated instruments "Optimism/Pessimism Scale" and "Nursing Student Perceptions of Dishonesty Scale" were used in the second phase to examine self-reported dishonesty and its contributing factors. The second phase also investigated the students' knowledge of the university's ethical and disciplinary regulations.
resultsOf 398 participants, 195 (48.9%) reported engaging in clinical dishonesty. Hierarchical regression analysis identified critical predictors of frequent clinical dishonesty: lack of fear of consequences (
conclusionsThe identified predictors indicate that interpersonal factors, i.e., the quality of mentor support, influence students' clinical dishonesty more than intrapersonal factors (e.g., attitudes or knowledge). Contextual factors (healthcare employment and study overload) were unrelated to clinical dishonesty. This finding can help develop strategies to reduce nursing students' dishonesty and improve patient safety.
