Nursing students' academic burnout: its prevalence and association with self-efficacy, psychological distress, and quality of learning experience.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
introductionAcademic burnout is a prevalent issue affecting students across different disciplines, including nursing students. Academic burnout negatively impacts students' clinical performance, patient satisfaction, and care quality.
aimThis study aimed at examining the differences in the mean scores of students' academic burnout on their demographic characteristics, and evaluating the relationship between academic burnout, self-efficacy, psychological distress, and quality of learning experience among undergraduate nursing students. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional design with a purposive sampling technique was used to conduct the study. The questionnaire was sent through Microsoft Forms including demographic questions, Maslach-Burnout Inventory- Student Survey, General Self-Efficacy Survey, Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, and Quality of Learning Experience Scale to measure the variables.
resultsThe total number of participants was 286 nursing students. The results depicted statistically significant effects of three different English proficiency levels on academic burnout F(2, 283) = 4.328, p =.014), program of study (t(284) = 2.270, p =.024, 91% CI: 0.55 to 10.45), GPA (t(284) = 2.011, p =.045, 95% CI: - 0.05 and 9.52), interest in the field of nursing (t(284)=-3.855, p <.001, 95% CI: -16.79 and - 4.83, and support from friends (t(284)=-2.626, p =.009, 95%CI: 95% CI: -13.58 and - 1.92. Nursing students reported moderate levels of self-efficacy (M = 30.22, SD = 5.62), academic burnout (M = 42.08, SD = 17.84), and quality of learning experience (M = 58.97, SD = 11.19). However, the participants reported severe psychological distress (M = 32.20, SD = 9.75). Academic burnout was negatively correlated with self-efficacy (r=-.514, p <.001), psychological distress (r=-.585, p <.001), and the quality of learning experience (r=-.407, p <.001). The weakest correlation with students' academic burnout was the overall quality of learning experience, while the strongest correlation was psychological distress.
conclusionOur results suggest that academic institutions should ensure realistic academic workloads and expectations that align with students' capabilities while avoiding excessive coursework or unrealistic deadlines. Time management skills, coping strategies, problem-solving, goal setting and prioritization should be incorporated into the programs to help students develop a balanced approach to reduce academic burnout and psychological distress.
