The mediating role of feedback-seeking behavior in the relationship between self-efficacy and transition shock of nursing interns: a cross-sectional study.

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
Background: Transition shock commonly occurs as nursing interns move from student roles to professional practice, leading to confusion, uncertainty, and a lack of clarity in their psychological, physiological, knowledge and skills development. Aim: This study aims to investigate the status of transition shock among Chinese nursing interns and explore the mediating role of feedback-seeking behavior in the relationship between self-efficacy and transition shock. Methods: This is a cross-sectional survey study following the STROBE guidelines. A convenience sample of 450 nursing interns were surveyed from February to March 2025. Participants completed a questionnaire that included socio-demographic information, Transition Shock Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES), and Feedback-Seeking Behavior Scale. The Bootstrap method was applied to assess the mediating effects. Results: The mean ± SD for transition shock among nursing interns was 59.28 ± 4.53. Factors influencing transition shock included gender, reasons for choosing nursing, physical health status, enjoyment of the nursing major, class leadership roles, only-child status, and parental education levels. Self-efficacy ( Conclusion: Feedback-seeking behavior is the mediating variable between self-efficacy and transition shock of nursing interns. These insights provide evidence-based strategies for targeted interventions aimed at alleviating transition shock among nursing interns.
