Nursing students' perceptions of an anti-stigma intervention for schizophrenia: a qualitative focus group study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Aim: To explore nursing students' experiences of participating in a schizophrenia stigma-reduction intervention and identify implications for intervention refinement and implementation. Background: Nursing students play a critical role in the care and rehabilitation of individuals with schizophrenia. However, their experiences with stigma-reduction interventions remain underexplored, limiting evidence to optimize intervention design and delivery. Design: A qualitative descriptive study. Methods: Purposive sampling was used to recruit nursing students who had participated in a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) conducted in Changsha, Hunan Province, China (22-27 March 2023). Data were collected through online focus group interviews via the Tencent Video Conference platform. Data collection and analysis were conducted concurrently, using expanded field notes, coding tables, and iterative categorization to identify themes. Results: Thirty nursing students participated in five focus group interviews (4-8 participants per group; 46-113 min; mean ≈ 68 min). Participants were aged 20-23 years; 77% were female. Four themes emerged: feasibility of the intervention, accessibility of the intervention, perceived efficacy of the intervention, and suggestions for future implementation. Conclusions: The intervention was perceived as feasible, accessible, and effective by nursing students. Participants also provided practical recommendations to improve intervention design and delivery. These findings offer valuable insights to inform the optimisation and future implementation of schizophrenia stigma-reduction interventions among health professional students.
