Current status and associated factors of digital literacy among academic nurse educators: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundIn the backdrop of the ongoing global digital revolution in education, the digital literacy of teachers stands out as a pivotal determinant within the educational milieu. This study aims to explore the current status and associated factors of digital literacy among academic nurse educators.
methodsA cross-sectional design study utilizing an online questionnaire platform (Wenjuanxing) to collect data from August to October 2023. A total of 157 academic nurse educators members from 10 nursing colleges and universities across 5 provinces in China participated in the study. The digital literacy level of academic nurse educators was evaluated using the self-developed Teacher Digital Literacy Questionnaire. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed to examine the factors associated with the digital literacy of academic nurse educators.
resultsThe average digital literacy score was 125.27 ± 11.41, with the average scores for five dimensions from high to low by rank as follows: digital application (46.73 ± 5.38), digital social responsibility (27.22 ± 3.94), digital awareness (20.28 ± 3.17), professional development (19.88 ± 2.76), and digital technology knowledge and skills (11.16 ± 2.03). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that age, years of teaching experience, awareness of digital advancements, and use of digital technologies (e.g. ChatGPT) (all p < 0.001) were significantly associated with the level of digital literacy among academic nurse educators.
conclusionOur findings suggest a need to design tailored digital education programs that address different age groups. For younger academic nurse educators, the focus should be on how to incorporate digital technology into their teaching practices to enhance educational diversity. For older academic nurse educators, training should prioritize building confidence in using digital tools and developing foundational digital skills to ensure they can effectively integrate technology into their instructional approaches. Therefore, supporting their needs and enhancing teaching competence towards sustainable nursing digital literacy.
