Attitudes and readiness of nurses towards digitalisation.
Article in Curationis, 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
backgroundThis study examines nurses' attitudes and readiness to integrate digital technologies, particularly electronic medical records (EMR), in a South African private hospital group. Understanding these perspectives is vital as healthcare increasingly digitises.
objectivesThe research aimed to assess the state of readiness of healthcare professionals before the implementation of an integrated EMR system within a multidisciplinary private hospital environment.
methodA qualitative exploratory design was used, with semi-structured interviews conducted with 15 participants. The data were thematically analysed, reaching saturation at 14 participants.
resultsSix key themes emerged: effective communication, implementation reasons, training support, overall employee perceptions, technology literacy and limitations of EMR. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions to bridge knowledge gaps and foster a supportive environment for digital healthcare integration.
conclusionThe shift from manual to electronic health records is crucial for improving efficiency, patient care and sustainability in healthcare. However, this transition requires careful consideration of human factors, such as behaviour, attitudes and readiness.Contribution: The study underscores the need for a strategic approach to technology adoption, emphasising the benefits of EMR implementation, tailored training and continuous communication, alongside addressing emotional support, technology literacy and network stability.
