Climate change-related stress and premenstrual symptoms among nursing students: the moderating role of climate change awareness and the mediating role of eco-anxiety.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
backgroundNursing students are future nurses. They are more susceptible to the physiological and psychological implications of climate change because of their participation in climate activities.
aimTo assess the relationships among nursing students' climate change awareness, climate change-related stress and eco-anxiety; and the associations between their climate change-related stress and their eco-anxiety and premenstrual syndrome.
methodsA cross-sectional correlational study was conducted on a convenience sample of 400 female nursing students at Matrouh University via self-report questionnaires about climate change knowledge and awareness, perceived stress, eco-anxiety and premenstrual syndrome. The data were collected from January 2022 to June 2025. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed to analyze the effects of the mediating and moderating variables.
resultsNursing students demonstrated satisfactory levels of knowledge and high levels of awareness of climate change. High climate change awareness among nursing students was coupled with moderate (53.2%) to severe (28.6%) climate change-related stress, whereas 54.9% of the students experienced moderate (46.2%) to severe (8.7%) levels of eco-anxiety. Regression analysis revealed that the relationship between nursing students' climate change-related stress and eco-anxiety was moderated via climate change awareness as a moderating factor. Eco-anxiety played a mediating role in the relationship between climate change-related stress and premenstrual syndrome among nursing students.
conclusionNursing students suffer from mental stress related to climate change, including climate change-related stress and eco-anxiety, due to increased climate change awareness. Climate change-related stress and eco-anxiety increased the prevalence of premenstrual syndrome among nursing students.
