Associations Among Depression, Self-Compassion, and Learning Burnout in Nursing Students: A Three-Wave Longitudinal Study.
Article in Depression and anxiety, 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
Background: Previous cross-sectional research shows that there were significant associations between depression, self-compassion, and learning burnout. However, no longitudinal research has explored the temporal associations among depression, self-compassion, and learning burnout in nursing students. The present study aimed to examine the temporal relationships among depression, self-compassion, and learning burnout and to explore the longitudinal mediating role of self-compassion between depression and learning burnout among nursing students. Methods: This is a three-wave longitudinal study. Undergraduate nursing students ( Results: Among nursing students, self-compassion unidirectionally and negatively predicted depression, while learning burnout unidirectionally and positively predicted depression. The temporal relationship between self-compassion and learning burnout was reciprocal and negative. Self-compassion longitudinally mediated the relationship between learning burnout and depression. Conclusion: Learning burnout may lead to depression among nursing students. As a psychological resource, self-compassion longitudinally negatively predicted both learning burnout and depression and could buffer the negative impact of learning burnout on depression. It is recommended that nursing educators identify and implement effective interventions to enhance nursing students' self-compassion to help them combat learning burnout and depression.
