Digital Competence and Perceived Pedagogical Optimization in Online Nursing Education: A Cross-Sectional Study in Peru.
Article in SAGE open nursing. 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
Introduction: Online education has experienced significant growth, particularly accelerated by the pandemic and the expansion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). In Peru, a country that endured one of the world's longest COVID-19 lockdowns, the transition has faced challenges such as a lack of devices and connectivity. Objective: To determine the perception of the optimization of pedagogical approaches for online learning and its relationship to the level of digital competence among nursing students at a private university in Lima, Peru, in 2024. Methods: A cross-sectional study assessed the perception of 278 nursing students at a private university via simple random sampling. An online, Likert-scale, 58-item questionnaire was used for data gathering. Both instruments demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach's α: 0.914-0.922) and validity (Aiken's V: 0.894-0.995). We used Mann Whitney U and one-way ANOVA with Eta-square (η2) values for comparing the variables Spearman's Rho for association. Results: Most participants were women aged 18-27 (73.9%). A moderate perception of pedagogical optimization prevailed (56.8%), while 81.4% exhibited high digital competence. Age significantly influenced pedagogical perception (p< 0.001) and digital competence (p= 0.006), with younger students outperforming older peers. Academic semester showed no significant impact. A strong association emerged between pedagogical perception and digital competence (Rho=0.336, p<0.001), with high-competence students exclusively reporting high pedagogical satisfaction. Also, students with high digital competence differed significantly from those with moderate/low competence (U = 6061, p < 0.001). Conclusion: These findings highlight the interdependence of digital proficiency and effective pedagogical design in nursing education. While high digital competence is prevalent, gaps in pedagogical optimization suggest that technological integration alone is insufficient without structured teaching strategies. Addressing age-related disparities and enhancing interactive virtual learning are critical to preparing nurses for technology-driven healthcare environments.
