Sustainable healthcare futures: how digital leadership stimulates nurses' green creativity: a quasi-experimental study.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 context of increasing environmental consciousness, integrating sustainable practices in healthcare is essential. Nurses' green creativity, defined as their ability to generate innovative, eco-friendly solutions, is pivotal in this transformation. Digital leadership, which leverages technology to guide sustainable practices, plays a critical role in fostering this creativity among nurses.
aimThis study aimed to investigate the impact of digital leadership on enhancing nurses' green creativity and to evaluate the effectiveness of digital leadership strategies in promoting sustainability within healthcare settings. Research hypothesis: H1: Participation in a digital leadership program will lead to a significant enhancement in nurses' knowledge about digital leadership.H2: A digital leadership program will have a significantly positive impact on fostering nurses' green creativity.
methodsA quasi-experimental design was employed, involving 128 nurses randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group participated in a digital leadership training program. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire, the Digital Leadership Competency Scale, and the Green Creativity Scale, before and after the intervention.
resultsThe mean knowledge score in the intervention group increased from 15.21 ± 4.22 pre-intervention to 44.29 ± 2.61 post-intervention (p < 0.001). For digital leadership competency, the mean score in the intervention group rose from 191.67 ± 20.43 to 552.14 ± 16.72 (p < 0.001). The mean score for green creativity in the intervention group significantly improved from 15.58 ± 1.68 to 42.31 ± 2.54 (p < 0.001).
conclusionThe study concluded that digital leadership programs significantly enhance nurses' green creativity. Integrating digital leadership into nursing practice can promote sustainability and innovation in healthcare settings.
