Migration intent, health, and higher education plans as determinants of professional identity and image of nursing among future nurses in resource-limited health systems: 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. Cited by 5 papers.
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 students often enter programs with idealistic perceptions shaped by personal experiences, family, and the media. However, in resource-limited healthcare systems, discrepancies between expectations and reality can adversely impact health and well-being, resulting in discontentment, absenteeism, and high attrition rates. This study explored undergraduate nursing students' perceptions of becoming registered nurses and the factors influencing these views.
methodsA quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted using the 34-item Perceptions of Being a Registered Nurse (PRN) tool with a five-point Likert scale. The survey was conducted with a representative sample of 579 nursing students recruited from three universities in different regions of India. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 27, with significance set at P < 0.05.
resultsStudents rated professionalism (M = 0.90), communication skills (M = 0.88), and patient advocacy (M = 0.85) highly, while work stress (M = 0.42) and unpredictability (M = 0.38) were notable concerns. Perceptions varied across academic years (H = 14.09, p < 0.01), with third-year students showing the highest scores. Having a disease negatively impacted perception (B = -8.33, p < 0.01), whereas aspirations to migrate (B = 4.53, p < 0.01) and higher education (B = 2.99, p < 0.05) were positive predictors.
conclusionProactively addressing nursing students’ perceptions throughout their education can inform targeted educational reforms, support sustainable workforce planning, and drive policy interventions that enhance retention and ensure a resilient nursing profession in India.
