Educational Satisfaction, Academic Motivation, and Related Factors Among Nursing Students in Iran: A Cross-Sectional Study.

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
Introduction: Academic motivation and educational satisfaction are crucial for nursing students' success; however, comprehensive data on these factors remains limited. Objective: This study aimed to assess academic motivation and educational satisfaction among nursing students at Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences in 2023 and explore influencing factors. Methods: A descriptive-analytical study of 340 nursing students used census sampling. Data were collected via a demographic questionnaire, the Academic Motivation Scale by Vallerand, and the Motlagh Educational Satisfaction Questionnaire. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS version 25, with p < 0.05 considered significant. Results: Participants (50% female) had a mean age of 23.12 ± 3.35 years. Over half (54.7%) reported moderate educational satisfaction, while 57.1% had very high motivation. A strong positive correlation was found between motivation and satisfaction (r = 0.58, p < 0.001), with motivation explaining 33.5% of satisfaction variance. A one-point motivation increase corresponded to a 0.24-point rise in satisfaction. Female students showed higher motivation and satisfaction (p < 0.001). Satisfaction was greater among students with homemaker mothers and those in their eighth semester, while motivation was higher for those living with family (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Most students reported moderate satisfaction and high motivation, with female students scoring higher in both areas. More research is needed to uncover additional factors, and targeted interventions may improve academic outcomes and effectively support nursing students.
