Assessing nursing information competence of nurses and identifying the associated influencing factors.

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
Purpose: The objective of this study was to assess the level of nursing information competence (including computer competence, information competence, and comprehensive application competence dimensions) of nurses and determine the influencing factors related to nursing information competence. Background: The wide application of information technology in medical system can improve the quality of nursing service. At present, the evaluation results of nurses' informatics competence are not consistent. Methods: This cross-sectional study survey was carried out in a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang, China, November 3 to November 9, 2023. Nurses who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria were recruited through purposive sampling method. Results: This study involved 1,237 nurses. The median score of nurses' informatics competence of 1,237 nurses was 98 (83,110), and the median score for each item was 2.88 (2.44, 3.24). The nursing information competence score were divided into three groups: high group (358, 28.94%), medium group (598, 48.34%), and low group (281, 22.72%), with score of 94 (interquartile range: 15), 71 (interquartile range: 14), 49 (interquartile range: 19). Eight variables strongly correlated with the total nursing information competence score were identified: (1) ability to adopt corresponding educational methods to disseminate information technology knowledge; (2) ability to effectively use clinical information according to work needs; (3) ability to evaluate the quantity and quality of information resources and adjust search strategies as needed to further obtain information; (4) ability to combine quality management tools to analyze and apply information; (5) ability to regularly collate medical record data using information systems and classify them by different purposes; (6) ability to select search strategies and effectively obtain information from the internet or electronic databases; (7) ability to clearly express problems encountered in information technology use; (8) familiarity with commonly used network terms. The prediction accuracy of Gradient Boosting regression and Linear regression models reached 0.829 and 0.836, respectively. Conclusion: This study shows that the informatics competence score of nursing staff is in the middle to upper level, and hospital managers can carry out more targeted and personalized training in the aforementioned 8 aspects.
