Screen time and stress: understanding how digital burnout influences health among nursing students.
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 3 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
introductionWith the growing reliance on digital platforms in education, nursing students face increasing exposure to screen time and academic pressures. Despite existing research, region-specific studies on how digital burnout predicts psychological health in UAE nursing students are limited.
aimThe study aimed to assess the correlation between digital burnout and nursing students' general psychological health and identify variables that predict both.
methodsThis study employed quantitative methods, utilizing correlational and descriptive approaches. The study was conducted during the 2024-2025 academic year and involved a sample of 140 nursing students. Statistical testing encompassed descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, and multiple regression analysis.
resultsThe level of digital burnout was high, and general psychological health was moderate. The correlation analysis revealed a positive and significant correlation between students' overall digital burnout scale scores and overall health scores (r = 0.71, p < 0.001). A multivariate regression study identified significant determinants of digital burnout and general psychological health among students. Younger students, those enrolled in over five classes, and nursing students exhibited elevated symptoms of digital burnout. Conversely, the academic level showed no substantial impact. Additionally, digital burnout was a major predictor of poor general psychological health, but other demographic and academic variables were not substantial.
conclusionThis study demonstrates that digital burnout, primarily induced by academic pressures, considerably affects the mental and physical well-being of nursing students. Specific institutional strategies such as fostering digital well-being, modifying course loads, and augmenting mental health support are crucial for safeguarding student wellness and cultivating resilient future nursing professionals.
