Could Mindfulness Predict Nursing Students' Happiness? Implications for Nursing Education.
Article in SAGE open nursing. 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
Introduction: Nursing students experience a highly stressful academic environment due to intensive coursework, clinical training, and emotional demands, which affect their psychological well-being. Managing these stressors is critical for their academic success and professional development. Objective: This study aimed to report levels of mindfulness, fear of missing out (FoMO), and happiness among nursing students from Oman, and to examine the interplay among these variables considering demographic variables. Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed, with data collected from 137 nursing students using three validated self-report tools: the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), the Personal Happiness Index-13 (PHI-13), and (FoMO) Scale. Results: Mindfulness levels differed significantly by year of study, with first-year students reporting lower mindfulness than senior students (p = .017). Students with lower GPAs also exhibited reduced mindfulness scores (p = .047). Mindfulness was significantly and negatively correlated with FoMO (r = -.426, p ≤ .01) and positively correlated with happiness (r = .354, p ≤ .01). The zero-order correlation between FoMO and happiness was negligible and non-significant (r = .026, p > .05). Hierarchical regression showed that mindfulness explained 12.6% of the variance in happiness (β = .354, p < .001); adding FoMO increased the explained variance to 16.4%, with FoMO emerging as a significant positive predictor only after mindfulness was controlled (β = .216, p = .015), consistent with a suppression effect. Conclusion: Findings suggest that mindfulness is associated with lower FoMO and greater happiness among nursing students. Although mindfulness significantly predicted happiness, causality cannot be inferred due to the cross-sectional design. The results contribute to the limited literature linking mindfulness, FoMO, and happiness in professional nurse training. Integrating mindfulness training into nursing education may serve as a practical strategy to enhance mental well-being and better prepare students for the challenges of their profession.
