Technostress in older healthcare workers: Latent profiles and implications for care robot acceptance.
Article in Digital health. 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
Background: The adoption of care technologies in long-term care settings is ongoing; while the aging of the care workforce continues, particularly in South Korea. This study aims to identify technostress types among older care workers in Korea, including their influencing factors, and examine differences in acceptance of transfer-assistive care robots. Methods: The study analyzed data from a 2023 survey on 336 care workers aged 50 years and above. Latent profile analysis was conducted on five technostress dimensions: overload, invasion, complexity, privacy, and inclusion. The Three-Step method and the Bolck-Croon-Hagenaars command were used to examine the antecedents of profile membership and differences in technology acceptance variables, including self-efficacy, anxiety, attitude, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and intention to use robots. Results: Four technostress profiles were identified: low technostress, high complexity and inclusion, moderate technostress, and high technostress with low inclusion. Age, education, income, job position, type of facility, work experience, and digital competence were all significantly associated with technostress profile membership. The low technostress group demonstrated the most favorable outcomes across all technology acceptance variables, whereas the high complexity and inclusion group exhibited the least favorable outcomes, characterized by the highest levels of anxiety and lowest levels of self-efficacy, perceived usefulness, and behavioral intention to use. Conclusions: Technostress profiles significantly influenced older healthcare workers' acceptance of transfer-assistive robots. Tailored interventions to decrease technostress-particularly related to complexity and inclusion pressures-may enhance technology adoption and improve care delivery in healthcare settings.
