The effects of stressors on readiness for clinical practice in novice nursing students: a path analysis.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundStressors critically influence nursing students' well-being, academic performance, readiness for clinical practices, and professional development. This study tests a hypothesized model examining the effect of stressors on first-year students' readiness for clinical practice.
methodsA descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 553 first-year nursing students from three public universities in Türkiye between April 15 and May 15, 2024. Institutional permissions and ethics approval were obtained (March 29, 2024; no. 621). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and path analysis.
resultsIt was determined that nursing students' readiness for clinical practice increased as their stress related to education, relationships, confidence, and uncertainty, as well as their overall stress levels, decreased (p < 0.001). All stressors negatively impacted readiness for clinical practice of first-year nursing students, supporting all study hypotheses and explaining 73.5% of the variance in students' readiness for clinical practice.
conclusionsThe findings of this study strengthen the importance of psychological support for students to prepare them for clinical practices. Novice nursing students need a well-organized educational process that helps them manage stress and connect theory with clinical practice.
