Student Incivility and Its Management From a Nursing Academic's Perspective: 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. 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
aimsTo examine published studies on nursing academics' experience with student incivility, explore their management strategies, and identify existing knowledge gaps.
designThis scoping review was guided by Arksey and O'Malley's five-stage framework. DATA SOURCES: Studies published between 2009 and June 2024 in English were retrieved from PubMed, CINAHL Complete, ProQuest, and Scopus.
methodsThe review included qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies on nursing academics' experiences or perceptions of student incivility and/or interventions to manage it in higher education. Data were analysed using descriptive methods.
resultsThirty-five studies met the inclusion criteria. The studies mostly explored nursing academics' experiences (n = 18) or perceptions (n = 15) of student incivility. Of the eleven studies that investigated how academic staff address student incivility, nine were interventional studies and two qualitative studies explored academics' experiences.
conclusionThe prevalence of reported nursing student incivility is substantial in the literature, yet there is limited evidence on sustainable, targeted management strategies to address the issue and support nursing academics. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSIONAL: Further research is needed to evaluate the feasibility and long-term effectiveness of strategies and interventions aimed at reducing student incivility and to explore effective management strategies adopted by nursing academics across diverse cultural and online learning settings. It is critical to develop interventions that address the root causes of student nurse incivility and strengthen institutional support systems. IMPACT: This scoping review addresses gaps in the literature on managing nursing student incivility across diverse learning environments, providing evidence to inform the development of contextually appropriate strategies that support nursing academics in managing incivility effectively within evolving educational settings.
