Summary

This study follows 500 nursing students through their clinical internships to understand why some begin to psychologically distance themselves from nursing. Participants complete online surveys every three months about their experiences, stress, fatigue, and sleep. The goal is to identify early warning signs and build a model that predicts who is at highest risk of disengaging from the profession.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help identify nursing interns at risk of leaving the profession early, allowing for targeted support.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all nursing programs or regions.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Full-time undergraduate students majoring in nursing. 2. Students who are about to enter clinical internship or are in the early stage of clinical internship. 3. Students who are able to use the WeChat mini-program to complete questionnaires. 4. Students with normal reading comprehension ability. 5. Students who voluntarily agree to participate in the study and provide informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Students who are unable to complete the internship during the study period due to suspension of schooling, withdrawal from school, military service, long-term sick leave, or other reasons. 2. Students who have participated in similar interventional studies that may affect the assessment of the primary outcome. 3. Students with severe physical or mental illness, or other conditions that make them unable to complete the questionnaires independently. Exclusion From Analysis Criteria: 1. Questionnaires with an obviously too short completion time, below the minimum reasonable response time set by the research team. 2. Questionnaires with patterned responses or obvious logical inconsistencies. 3. Questionnaires with missing key variables that cannot be used for the main statistical analysis. 4. Repeated submissions at the same time point where the valid version cannot be confirmed.
