Unlocking the Determinants of Digital and Technological Self-Efficacy: Insights from a Cross-Sectional Study Among Nurses and Nursing Students.

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
backgroundDigital self-efficacy is a crucial determinant of healthcare professionals' ability to adapt to technological innovations. Understanding its predictors among nurses and nursing students is essential for workforce readiness.
objectivesTo assess the level of digital self-efficacy and examine demographic, educational, and experiential factors associated with inadequate self-efficacy.
methodsThis cross-sectional study involved 1081 Italian nurses and nursing students. The Digitech-S scale was used to measure digital self-efficacy, with ≥70/100 indicating adequacy. Logistic regression was performed to identify predictors of inadequate self-efficacy.
resultsOnly 47.1% of participants demonstrated adequate self-efficacy. Females had twice the odds of inadequate self-efficacy compared to males (OR = 2.038,
conclusionsGender disparities persist in digital self-efficacy, and unexpectedly, students outperformed bachelor-level nurses. Findings highlight educational gaps and the importance of early exposure to technology. Tailored interventions are needed to strengthen digital readiness, which may improve care quality and healthcare system efficiency in the digital era.
