Career stress, resilience, coping, and life satisfaction among nursing students: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC 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
backgroundNursing students face multiple challenges that affect their life satisfaction, including career stress, resilience, and coping styles. These factors shape both well-being and readiness for professional practice.
aimTo examine the relationships among career stress, resilience, coping styles, and life satisfaction in nursing students.
methodsA cross-sectional design was adopted, informed by Lazarus and Folkman’s stress–coping theory. A convenience sampling method was used. Data were collected from 352 undergraduate nursing students from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years at a single state university in Turkey between May and June 2025. Instruments included the Career Stress Scale, Brief Resilience Scale, Coping Styles Scale, and Life Satisfaction Scale. Data analysis employed t tests, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and hierarchical regression.
resultsThe mean life satisfaction score was 16.28 ± 3.75. Life satisfaction showed a weak negative correlation with career stress (r= -.252, p= .001), a positive correlation with resilience (r = .286, p = .001), and a moderate positive correlation with positive coping styles (r = .401, p= .001). Regression analysis revealed that career stress (β =-0.129, p = .001), resilience (β = 0.166, p= .001), and positive coping styles (β = 0.331, p= .001) together explained 21% of the variance in life satisfaction. Negative coping styles were not significant.
conclusionCareer stress, resilience, and positive coping significantly associated with nursing students’ life satisfaction. Findings emphasize the need for integrating resilience-building and coping skills into nursing curricula to strengthen well-being and preparedness for professional practice.
