Nursing Students' Perceptions of Instructional Approaches in Nursing Diagnosis Education: A Qualitative Study.
Article in Nursing open, 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
aimThis study explored nursing students' perceptions of the instructional approaches to teaching nursing diagnosis.
designAn exploratory, descriptive qualitative study design was utilized.
methodsA total of 29 fourth-year nursing students from eight public universities in Turkey were recruited through social media and snowball sampling. Data were collected via face-to-face interviews conducted on Zoom between May and June 2023 and transcribed verbatim. Thematic analysis and constant comparison were used for data analysis. The study adhered to COREQ guidelines.
resultsThematic analysis identified four main themes with subthemes reflecting students' perspectives: (1) Teaching methods, including (i) inadequate practical training in clinical settings and (ii) ineffective feedback in clinical practice; (2) Utilization of NANDA-I diagnoses in practice, encompassing (i) challenges in applying NANDA-I diagnoses and (ii) perceptions of suboptimal implementation by professionals; (3) Recommendations for improving nursing diagnosis education; and (4) Students' perceptions of NANDA-I diagnoses.
conclusionNursing students perceived current instructional approaches to nursing diagnosis as insufficient, particularly regarding practical training and feedback. Addressing these gaps is crucial for improving the quality of nursing education and practice. IMPLICATIONS: The findings provide valuable insights for revising nursing curricula to enhance the teaching of nursing diagnosis. Supporting students in mastering nursing diagnoses before graduation is essential for standardizing nursing terminology and improving the quality of care in future practice. REPORTING
methodThe COREQ guidelines have been followed. PATIENTS OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patients or public contribution.
