Self-assessed digital competence of nurse educators-A cross-sectional study in four countries.

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
Objective: This study examines the self-assessed level of nurse educators' digital competence in four European countries and explores variables associated with it. Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted. Method: Nurse educators (n = 290) from 36 nursing education organizations in Finland, Malta, Slovakia, and Spain participated in the study. Data were collected from May 2021 to February 2022 through an online survey. The Educators and Educator Candidates' Competence in Digital Pedagogy instrument contained 20 items in three categories. Descriptive statistics, the Kruskal-Wallis test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and multiple regression analysis were used in the analysis. Results: Nurse educators reported an overall moderate level of digital competence; the lowest level was in the safe and responsible use of technology. Slovak educators assessed their competence as higher than those from Finland, Malta, and Spain. Having a master's or doctoral degree and completing pedagogical studies were related to a higher level of digital competence. Conclusion: Nurse educators have successfully adopted the use of evolving teaching, learning, and assessment methods to ensure appropriate and practice-preparing healthcare education. The findings can be used in nursing education and healthcare practice organizations to focus nurse educators' education on the safe and responsible use of digital pedagogical practices, such as the ethical utilization of electronic documents. Furthermore, in-depth examination of the relationship between educators' education and digital competence is needed.
