The impact of social crises on nursing students' mental health: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
backgroundThe whole world is affected by twenty-first-century social crises. This study evaluated the impact of pandemics, poverty, migration, wars, and climate change on nursing students' mental health.
methodsThe study was a cross-sectional study conducted among 1300 nursing students in Turkey. The data were collected using a personal information questionnaire, the General Health Questionnaire, and the Climate Change Worry Scale. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression.
resultsAlmost half of the participants believed they would have living conditions similar to those of adults today. Participants had a mean General Health Questionnaire score of 3.8 ± 3.5, suggesting three in five participants were at risk of poor mental health (63.6%). The results showed that being a third-year student, having a moderate to high income, having authoritarian parents, having moderate or bad friendships, considering migrating abroad after graduation, being unhappy about the nursing profession, fearing poverty, and being concerned about climate change made participants more vulnerable to poor mental health. Current social crises have affected nursing students around the world.
conclusionsNursing students are at high risk of experiencing poor mental health. There is a need to create an environment where nursing students can explain their anxiety and develop supportive interventions to manage their anxiety.
