Relationships Between Parental Phubbing, Mobile Phone Addiction and Well-Being in Chinese Nursing Students: A Cross-Sectional Study Using Structural Equation Modelling.
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 aims to investigate the relationships between parental phubbing, mobile phone addiction and well-being in nursing students.
designA cross-sectional, correlational study design was employed.
methodsA convenience sampling method was used, and a web-based survey was conducted to obtain data. All variables were measured using standardised instruments. Structural equation modelling was used to test our hypothetical model that included parental phubbing, mobile phone addiction and well-being in nursing students. The response rate was 98.6%.
resultsA total of 362 nursing students were included in this study. The structural equation model found relationships between parental phubbing, mobile phone addiction and well-being in nursing students. Parental phubbing scores were positively related to mobile phone addiction scores (β = 0.54, p < 0.05). We also found that mobile phone addiction scores were positively and significantly associated with well-being scores (β = 0.25, p < 0.05). Furthermore, the direct effect of parental phubbing on well-being was non-significant (β = 0.14, p = 0.10), and the total effect was significant and positive (β = 0.28, p < 0.05).
conclusionParental phubbing behaviour may increase nursing students' mobile phone addiction, while nursing students' addiction to mobile phones may enhance their well-being. The direct effect of parents' phubbing behaviour on nursing students' well-being is non-significant. These findings are helpful for college educators and related researchers to better understand the relationships between parental phubbing, mobile phone addiction and well-being in nursing students. Practical and effective operational suggestions on mobile phone management and the increase of well-being in nursing students are put forward. REPORTING
methodThe study followed the STROBE checklist. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: None.
