Psychometric Evaluation of the Artificial Intelligence Perception Scale for Cancer Patients: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach.
Article in Journal of evaluation in clinical practice, 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
RATIONALE, AIMS AND
objectivesArtificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into oncology care, with oncology nurses playing a key role in patient education, communication, and trust in these technologies. Although artificial intelligence is increasingly integrated into healthcare, existing AI perception and technology acceptance scales have largely been developed for general healthcare settings and do not adequately capture the unique clinical, ethical, and workflow-related aspects of oncology practice. This study aimed to develop and psychometrically validate a scale measuring oncology patients' perceptions of artificial intelligence. The study focused on instrument development rather than testing a theoretical model of technology acceptance.
methodsA methodological, cross-sectional scale development study. The scale was developed according to established nursing research guidelines. An initial item pool was generated using the Technology Acceptance Model, literature review and expert opinions from oncology nursing and interdisciplinary healthcare professionals. Content validity was assessed using the Davis technique and Lawshe method. Data were collected from 382 adult cancer patients receiving nursing care. Construct validity was examined using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Reliability was evaluated using Cronbach's α, split-half reliability and composite reliability. Structural equation modeling with bootstrapping tested the theoretical model.
resultsThe final scale included 33 items across three factors: knowledge, awareness, and trust; perceived benefit; and acceptance and use tendencies. Exploratory factor analysis explained 82.37% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated good model fit (CFI = 0.99, RMSEA = 0.079, SRMR = 0.038). Internal consistency was excellent for the total scale (α = 0.97) and subscales (α = 0.97-0.98). Perceived benefit partially mediated the relationship between knowledge and acceptance, explaining 52% of the variance.
conclusionsThe scale is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing cancer patients' perceptions and acceptance of AI in oncology nursing practice. This scale provides oncology nurses and nurse researchers with a standardized tool to support nursing-led patient education, shared decision-making and the integration of AI into patient-centred oncology nursing care.
