Igniting success: how growth mindset fuels academic achievement through self-belief and strategic effort.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
backgroundThis study integrates the Mindset Theory and Self-Regulated Learning Theory to investigate how a growth mindset influences the performance of nursing students. The research explores the mediating roles of self-belief and effort regulation in the relationship between growth mindset and academic performance in nursing students.
methodsA quantitative research methodology was employed using a survey strategy to collect data from a sample of 511 undergraduate nursing students in China. The sample was selected through random sampling. Data analysis was performed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine the relationships between growth mindset, self-belief, effort regulation, and student performance.
resultsThe findings demonstrate a positive association between growth mindset and nursing student performance. Additionally, self-belief and effort regulation were found to mediate this relationship. This research addresses a critical gap in the literature by exploring the impact of growth mindset and the mediating factors in a non-western educational context.
conclusionThe study contributes to the growth mindset literature in nursing education by highlighting the mediating roles of self-belief and effort regulation in enhancing student performance. The findings suggest that interventions designed to foster a growth mindset and improve effort regulation strategies could significantly enhance nursing student performance, with implications for both educational theory and nursing practice. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
