Psychological Wellbeing and Predictors of Early Help-Seeking Behaviours of International Students of Undergraduate Nursing Programs: A Scoping Review.
Article in Nursing open, 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
backgroundAustralian Universities are the principal providers of nurse education for international students. While researchers have recognised the important issue of poor psychological well-being among nursing students, few have explored the factors which impact international nursing students.
aimThis review aimed to map the reported factors impacting psychological health, wellness and early help-seeking behaviours of international students enrolled in Bachelor of Nursing programmes.
methodsA scoping review with a five-stage methodological framework to interpret and synthesise the available literature was utilised. The following databases were searched: CINAHL Complete, PsycINFO, MEDLINE, ERIC and Scopus for studies published in English from 2012 to 2022. Additional sources were also sought through a review of the references of included studies. Four studies met the inclusion criteria.
resultsResults revealed that all included studies were from Australia and utilised a quantitative approach. Factors impacting psychological health and wellbeing, as well as help-seeking behaviours included but were not limited to migrating alone, language spoken, marginalisation and the COVID-19 pandemic. Published literature on this topic is limited, with a notable absence from other countries.
conclusionThis review highlights a gap in evidence concerning ways to support international nursing students. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: There were no patient or public contributions in the design, conduct, analysis or preparation of this manuscript.
