Factors that influence happiness among nursing students: a cross-sectional study in South Korea.
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
objectivesThis study aims to provide guidance for nursing college students to enhance their overall happiness and to support the development of internal resources that contribute to improved physical and psychological health as they progress in their nursing careers.
designA descriptive survey design was employed.
settingThe study was conducted among nursing students enrolled at four nursing colleges in South Korea.
participantsThe final sample comprised 302 nursing students who met the following criteria: (1) enrolled in their third or fourth year of study, (2) engaged in club activities for more than 6 months within the previous year-considering the period during which face-to-face classes resumed following the COVID-19 pandemic- and (3) voluntarily consented to participate after receiving detailed information about the study.
interventionThe dependent variable was happiness. Candidate explanatory variables included college life adaptation, leisure satisfaction from club activities and family strengths. Data were collected between 5 and 30 June 2023, and analysed using SPSS/WIN V.22.0 software in accordance with the study objectives.
resultsThe multiple regression model was statistically significant (F=28.60, p<0.001), with college life adaptation (β=0.45, p<0.001), family strengths (β=0.15, p=0.002), number of siblings (β=0.12, p=0.008) and perceived physical health status (β=0.11, p=0.023) identified as significant predictors of happiness.
conclusionsThese variables collectively explained 42.0% of the variance in happiness. Future interventions aiming to enhance mental health and happiness among nursing students should consider these key influencing factors.
