Latent profile analysis of self-efficacy in information security and positive coping level among nursing students: a multicenter cross-sectional study in China.
Article in Frontiers in psychology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 aimed to (1) identify latent profiles of nursing students based on self-efficacy in information security and positive coping, and (2) examine factors associated with self-efficacy in information security. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on nursing students. Latent profile analysis was used to identify potential profiles based on self-efficacy in information security and positive coping levels. Subsequently, multivariate linear regression was conducted to identify factors associated with the self-efficacy in information security. Results: A total of 1,832 nursing students participated in this study. Four distinct latent profiles were identified: low self-efficacy-negative coping profile (24.0%), low self-efficacy-positive coping profile (10.6%), awareness-dominant profile (56.2%), and high self-efficacy-positive coping profile (9.2%). Multivariate linear regression analysis further revealed that education level, grade, clinical internship experience, completion of a nursing informatics course, receipt of information security training, and experience of digital victimization were associated with self-efficacy in information security ( Conclusion: The findings revealed heterogeneous profiles and identified factors associated with self-efficacy in information security among nursing students. These results underscore the importance of developing tailored interventions for this population.
