Latent profiles of nurses' attitudes toward artificial intelligence in nursing and associated factors: a cross-sectional 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
backgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) is being gradually integrated into clinical nursing practice, where it plays an important role in improving nursing quality, reducing nurses' workload, and promoting the intelligent transformation of nursing. Nurses' attitudes toward AI applications in nursing directly affect the promotion and implementation of this technology. Understanding these attitudes and their heterogeneity is crucial for the successful implementation of AI technology. This study aimed to identify potential types of nurses' attitudes toward the use of AI in nursing and to explore the factors associated with profile membership with type affiliation.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among 206 clinical nurses in Anhui Province, China, in July 2025. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Attitudes Toward the Application of AI Technology in Nursing Scale, and the Multidimensional Nursing Generations Questionnaire. Latent profile analysis(LPA) was used to identify distinct attitude profiles. Univariate analyses and multinomial logistic regression were performed to explore associated factors.
resultsThree profiles were identified: positive acceptance (16.02%), ambivalent balance (9.71%), and cautious skepticism (74.27%). Multinomial logistic regression showed that educational level, computer proficiency, English proficiency, and generational characteristics were significantly associated with profile membership (all P < 0.05).
conclusionNurses showed moderate attitudes toward AI in nursing with substantial heterogeneity. Profile-tailored strategies may help nursing managers facilitate the effective and sustainable implementation of AI technologies in clinical practice.
