Exploring nursing students' experience of bullying and its consequences and coping strategies from a qualitative perspective.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. 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
Workplace bullying is a serious challenge for nursing students, with negative impacts on their physical and mental health, leading to reduced self-esteem and quality of patient care. In response to bullying, individuals use various coping strategies. Therefore, this qualitative study aimed to elucidate the consequences of bullying and investigate the coping strategies employed by nursing students. In this study, 20 nursing students were selected using purposive sampling. Data was collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed using the Graneheim and Lundman method (2020). In this method, units of meaning were identified, and codes and categories were extracted. Data management was carried out using version 0.9.5 of the MAXQDA software. The findings were categorized into two main themes: "Consequences of Bullying" and " Bullying Coping Strategies." Subcategories extracted from the study included "Negative Outcomes," "Positive Outcomes," " Self-Centered and Passive Strategies," and "Active and Interactive Coping Strategies." Sub-subcategories included " Reduction in Learning," " Decline in Quality of Care," "Psychological Harm," "Physical Harm," "Disruption in Social Interactions," "Development of Positive Thinking," " Enhancement of Self-Efficacy," " Self-Direction," "Acceptance," " Ignoration," "Situational Humor," "Protest," " Discussing of Job Description," and " Report to Competent Authorities." The findings of this study indicate that bullying in educational workplaces has negative effects on the physical, mental health, and learning process of nursing students, jeopardizing the quality of patient care. These results also emphasize the necessity of focusing on active and passive coping strategies adopted by nursing students. Therefore, structural reforms in the nursing education system, implementation of effective prevention policies, training of mentors, and providing psychological support for students are recommended.
