Hospital ethical climate and nurses' cyber ethics literacy: the mediating role of compassion competence.

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
Objective: This study examined the current level of nurses' cyber ethics literacy in tertiary hospitals in China and explored its associations with perceived hospital ethical climate and nurses' compassion competence. A theory-driven, non-causal mediation model was used to examine whether compassion competence statistically mediated the association between hospital ethical climate and cyber ethics literacy. Methods: A multicentre cross-sectional survey was conducted between September and November 2024. Guided by social cognitive theory, nurses' cyber ethics literacy, hospital ethical climate, and compassion competence were measured using the Nurses' Cyber Ethics Literacy Questionnaire, the Hospital Ethical Climate Scale, and the Compassion Competence Scale for Nurses, respectively, to analyze the correlations among the three variables. Results: Nurses' cyber ethics literacy was at a moderately high level (136.82 ± 23.89). Cyber ethics literacy was positively correlated with perceived hospital ethical climate ( Conclusion: Hospital ethical climate and compassion competence were positively associated with nurses' cyber ethics literacy. The mediation result is compatible with the proposed Social Cognitive Theory framework, suggesting that a supportive ethical environment may be linked to better cyber ethics literacy partly through stronger compassion competence. Because the study was cross-sectional and based on self-report data, causal inferences cannot be drawn.
