Lived experience of nursing students during their paediatric clinical placement: a qualitative study protocol.
Article in BMJ 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
introductionPaediatric clinical education presents unique challenges for nursing students owing to the clinical complexity and emotional sensitivity of caring for ill children and their families. This high-stakes period profoundly influences students' professional identity. This study aims to explore the lived experiences of nursing students during their paediatric practicum through a descriptive phenomenological lens. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This study will be conducted using a qualitative design with a descriptive phenomenological approach. Data will be collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews with undergraduate nursing students who have completed their paediatric clinical rotation. Purposive sampling will be employed, continuing until data saturation is achieved. Interviews will be recorded in a quiet confidential setting and subsequently transcribed verbatim. Data analysis will follow Colaizzi's seven-step method, involving independent analysis by three researchers followed by group consensus. To ensure rigour and trustworthiness, strategies such as researcher triangulation, member checking and maintaining an audit trail will be utilised. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The Ethics Committee of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences has granted ethical approval for this study. The findings will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at relevant conferences. Furthermore, the results will be shared with nursing faculties and paediatric nursing departments to inform educational practices.
