Current status and factors influencing compassion fatigue in clinical placement nursing students: a mixed-methods study protocol.
Article in BMJ open, 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
introductionCompassion fatigue (operationally defined as a nursing student's reduction in empathetic capacity or interest towards 'bearing the suffering of clients' manifesting as consequent emotional and behavioural responses to secondary exposure of others' traumatic experiences) among nursing students affects not only their physical and mental health, but it may also spread and undermine the stability of the nursing profession as a whole. Therefore, this study aims to delve deeply into the causes and trends of compassion fatigue among undergraduate nursing students and gain a better understanding of nursing students' feelings, experiences and coping mechanisms in relation to compassion fatigue. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This mixed-methods study will be conducted in two phases. This study will recruit 110 nursing students from a teaching hospital in China. Eligible participants will be asked to complete validated questionnaires. Student interns will also be asked to participate in semistructured qualitative interviews to investigate their feelings, experiences and coping mechanisms in relation to compassion fatigue. Statistical analysis of survey data will include descriptive and inferential statistics, as well as qualitative content analysis. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of the Chinese Medical University. The findings will be disseminated at conferences and journal articles. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: Current status and factors influencing compassion fatigue in clinical placement nursing students: a mixed study (ChiCTR2500097955; Pre-results).
