Investigating the relationship between attitudes toward artificial intelligence and moral sensitivity among nursing students.

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
introductionGiven the increasing use of artificial intelligence in the field of health and treatment, including nursing, it is necessary to draw students' attention to this issue from the time of their education. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between attitudes towards artificial intelligence and moral sensitivity in nursing students.
methodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted on nursing students from the 2nd to 8th semester of nursing at Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences. Participants were enrolled in the study through a census method. Demographic and ethical sensitivity questionnaires and attitudes towards artificial intelligence were used. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods in SPSS-24 software.
resultsOut of 155 participants, 61.29% had moderate moral sensitivity based on the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire (MSQ), and 38.06% had low moral sensitivity. Regarding the Attitude toward Artificial Intelligence Questionnaire, 76.12% held a relatively favorable attitude and 19.36% a favorable one. A weak but statistically significant positive correlation was found between attitudes toward AI and moral sensitivity (*r* = 0.185, *p* = 0.012).
conclusionGiven the weak yet statistically significant relationship between attitudes toward AI and moral sensitivity, integrating AI ethics education and targeted educational workshops into undergraduate nursing curricula may help strengthen students' preparedness for ethical AI use. However, these findings should be interpreted cautiously because of the study's cross-sectional design and single-center setting.
