The impact of mindfulness intervention on the subjective well-being of nursing students: an experimental study.
Article in BMC psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundNursing students frequently encounter significant psychological stressors during their education, placing them at increased risk for reduced subjective well-being and mental health challenges. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction programs have emerged as promising interventions to enhance psychological resilience and well-being in this vulnerable population.
methodsThis experimental study utilized a pretest–posttest design with experimental and control groups. A total of 60 nursing students participated, with 30 assigned to the experimental group and 30 to the control group. Nursing students’ subjective well-being was assessed using the Subjective Well-Being Scale before and after the intervention. The experimental group participated in an eight-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program adapted from Kabat-Zinn’s model, consisting of two 30-40-minute sessions per week, while the control group received no intervention. Data were analyzed using independent samples t-tests to compare differences between groups and paired samples t-tests for within-group changes.
resultsNo significant difference was observed in pretest subjective well-being scores between the groups (p > 0.05). Post-intervention analysis revealed a statistically significant increase in subjective well-being scores in the experimental group compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Within-group comparisons showed a significant improvement in subjective well-being for the experimental group, while the control group exhibited a decline (p < 0.001).
conclusionsParticipation in an eight-week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program significantly improved the subjective well-being of nursing students, suggesting its potential as an accessible and effective intervention for supporting their mental health. These findings underscore the importance of integrating mindfulness-based programs into nursing education to promote resilience and prevent emotional exhaustion.
