Exploring nursing intern students' experiences of stress and resilience during internship using photovoice.

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
introductionNursing intern students' experiences of stress and their resiliency construction during internships remains largely unexplored. This study aims to achieve two primary objectives: first, to explore the nuanced experiences of stress and resilience among nursing intern students, and second, to contribute insights that can lead to the development of effective programs for enhancing coping skills and building resilience during their internships.
methodsThis study employed a phenomenological investigation using photovoice, focusing on the stressors and coping mechanisms of 14 nursing interns from the King Khalid University, Abha and Khamis Muhsayt branches during the last three months of their internship. The nursing interns, comprising 14 individuals with an equal male to female ratio, took between 5 to 7 photographs that they felt best represented their experience during the internship. After taking these photographs, the participants engaged in individual and group semi-structured interviews discussing the photos and narratives. The interviews were recorded and then transcribed word for word. Thematic analysis was conducted by two researchers. Rigor was maintained by researchers' reflexivity, participant photo narrative review, and an independent inquiry audit.
resultsThe study revealed six key themes: interns experienced significant stress from the Weight of Responsibility and the Emotional Rollercoaster of patient care. However, they found Strength in Connection through peer and mentor support, engaged in Self-Care and Reflection, and gained Perspective through the Lens of photovoice. Interns also provided Recommendations for Support, advocating for systemic changes to improve the internship experience.
conclusionThis photovoice study revealed that nursing interns face significant stress from heavy responsibility and emotional challenges, but find crucial support through connections with peers and mentors. They actively use self-care and reflect on their experiences, leading to calls for systemic changes like enhanced mentorship and stress management resources to create a more supportive internship environment.
