Mediating effects of artificial intelligence readiness and self-efficacy on innovative behavior in Chinese standardized training nurses: a structural equation model study.
Article in BMC nursing, 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
backgroundInnovative behavior is crucial for enhancing clinical efficiency, promoting patient recovery, and advancing the nursing discipline. As an emerging group within the nursing workforce, standardized training nurses represent a key cohort for fostering innovation. Nevertheless, the psychological mechanisms underlying their innovative behavior remain insufficiently explored. In particular, the chain mediating roles of AI readiness and self-efficacy in the relationship between self-directed learning, perceived organizational support, and innovative behavior have yet to be systematically examined. This study aims to address this research gap by investigating the mediating effect of AI readiness and self-efficacy between self-directed learning ability, perceived organizational support and innovative behavior among standardized training nurses.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted between January and July 2025 using convenience sampling. Participants were recruited from two tertiary hospitals in Guangdong Province and one tertiary hospital in Gansu Province. Data were collected using the following instruments: the General Information Questionnaire, Innovative Behavior Inventory, Medical AI Readiness Scale for Medical Students, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Self-Directed Learning Ability Instrument, and Perceived Organizational Support Scale. Structural equation modeling was performed using AMOS software for analyze the data.
resultsThe structural equation model exhibited a good fit. Path analysis showed that both self-directed learning and perceived organizational support were directly associated with the innovative behavior. For the self-directed learning pathway, only the sequential indirect effect through AI readiness and self-efficacy was statistically significant (small indirect effect, β = 0.018, 95%CI: 0.004, 0.048); For the perceived organizational support pathway, both the indirect effect through the sequential indirect effect through AI readiness and self-efficacy was statistically significant (small indirect effect, β = 0.014, 95%CI: 0.004, 0.045).
conclusionsThe relationships between self-directed learning, perceived organizational support, and innovative behavior are mediated by AI readiness and self-efficacy. These findings highlight that fostering AI readiness and self-efficacy could be of practical significance in improving innovative behavior of standardized training nurses.
