Promoting Self-Efficacy of Nursing Students in Academic Integrity Through a Digital Serious Game: A Pre/Post-Test Study.
Article in Nursing reports (Pavia, Italy), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundAcademic integrity is an important component of nursing education, bridging academic ethics with professional practice. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a co-designed Academic Integrity digital serious game in improving nursing students' self-efficacy related to academic integrity, academic offenses, professionalism, and artificial intelligence use.
methodsA pre-test/post-test design was employed, using a bespoke questionnaire to assess 303 first-year nursing students' self-efficacy before and after playing the game. The questionnaire covered five subscales: academic integrity standards, academic offenses, professional values, feedback processes, and AI use in academic work.
resultsStatistically significant improvements were observed across all subscales following the intervention, indicating enhanced self-efficacy in understanding and applying academic integrity principles, recognizing academic offenses, demonstrating professional behaviors, utilizing feedback, and appropriately using AI in academic contexts.
conclusionsThe Academic Integrity digital serious game has the potential to be an effective tool for enhancing nursing students' self-efficacy in the areas of academic and professional ethics. This approach shows promise for integrating academic integrity-based education in nursing curricula and preparing students for the ethical challenges of modern healthcare practice. This study was not registered.
