Psychological adjustment and growth of graduate nursing students under the dual stress of research and practicum: a qualitative study.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Background: As China's nursing career develops and the demand for nursing positions in hospitals changes, the number of people applying for a master's degree in nursing has been increasing year by year. Objective: To explore the psychological experiences of graduate nursing students under the dual pressures of clinical nursing practice and academic research and the factors that influence them. Method: Fifteen participants were recruited from 11 universities in China between October and December 2024 using a purposive sampling method. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted and transcribed verbatim. Inductive reflexive thematic analysis was conducted using Braun and Clarke's framework. Result: Four themes were identified: negative experiences of dual stress, coping mechanisms for negative experiences, positive effects of dual stress, and the inner need for graduate nursing education. Nursing students improve their general competence through internships and research studies and have a clear understanding of their inner needs and plans. However, students also have adverse psychological experiences at this stage for various reasons. As a result, they use a variety of methods to solve their problems, aiming to face their internships and research work in a better state and complete their graduate studies. Conclusion: Schools and hospitals should pay more attention to the needs of nursing students under dual stress, monitor their emotional state, and provide support in all areas to enhance their coping skills.
