Educational Strategies for Managing Moral Distress in Student Nurses: A Scoping Review.
Article in Journal of advanced nursing, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
aimsTo explore what content, teaching and learning activities are advocated by nurse educators to mitigate moral distress and related concepts in student nurses.
designScoping review. REVIEW
methodsThe review was conducted according to Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines. The search strategy adopted their three-step method for systematic reviews. The eligibility criteria reflected the Population, Concept, Context format. DATA SOURCES: CINAHL Ultimate, MEDLINE Full Text, APA PsycINFO, Education Research Complete, Web of Science, ProQuest, Base, and Open Grey were systematically searched in September 2024 for papers in English language regardless of publication age.
resultsFollowing searches, 3809 records were screened against eligibility criteria, resulting in 42 eligible papers being included; 29 research studies and 13 non-empirical papers. We identified 236 content suggestions, mapped to 70 subject codes. Also, 217 teaching and learning activities are suggested and mapped to 41 coded activities. Data is charted in tables and figures and results are discussed per related concept of moral distress.
conclusionsEducational content, and teaching and learning activities are heterogenous across the concepts influencing moral distress. There is overlap of content across different concepts. Moral sensitivity received the most publications. Development of research and educational strategies addressing other interrelated concepts would be advantageous for evidence-based curriculum development. Recommendations are made to develop evidence-based content and teaching and learning activities. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Recommendations are made to develop an evidence-based multi-conceptual curriculum to mitigate moral distress in pre-registration student nurses. IMPACT: Recommendations are made adding to existing research agendas on the topic. REPORTING
methodPRISMA-ScR. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public contribution.
