Factors Affecting the Formation of Ethical Conflicts in the Education of Nursing Students: A Meta-synthesis Study.
Review in Iranian journal of nursing and midwifery research. 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
Background: Ethical conflict is an integral part of the clinical environment, and nursing students face similar conflicts. Identifying these conflicts aids their educational development. This study aimed to explore factors influencing the formation of ethical conflicts in nursing students during their training. Materials and Methods: This qualitative review and meta-synthesis, conducted in Iran in 2024, followed Sandelowski and Barroso's seven-step model. A comprehensive literature search (2000-2023) was performed to identify qualitative studies on nursing students' ethical conflicts in educational settings. Databases searched included PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and ProQuest, alongside the search engine Google Scholar, using keywords such as ethical conflict, clinical education, and nursing students. The identified studies were assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). Results: From 3469 primary studies, 11 articles showed that the most important factor was the professional-educational conflict in an incompatible environment. In this study, we found three main factors related to professional ethics, organizational interactions, and care skills, and different subgroups were identified in each main category. Conclusions: This meta-synthesis identified ethical conflicts in educational environments as a significant factor among healthcare providers. The findings emphasize the need for a deeper investigation of ethical conflicts, particularly in clinical education, using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Additionally, it is recommended that educational programs focus on ethical decision-making, improve organizational support for interactions, and conduct regular ethical assessments to create a more supportive professional environment and ultimately enhance patient care.
