Latent profile analysis of artificial intelligence anxiety among undergraduate nursing students: a cross-sectional study.

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
Aim/objective: This study aimed to classify subgroups of artificial intelligence (AI) anxiety among nursing undergraduates using latent profile analysis, describe their demographic characteristics, and identify factors associated membership in each latent profile. Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) has been widely implemented in clinical nursing practice, but nursing undergraduates often experience AI anxiety, which impedes their adaptation to smart medical services. Few existing studies have stratified students according to anxiety levels to formulate targeted intervention measures. Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: Participants were 526 nursing undergraduates recruited from several medical colleges in Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, and Sichuan provinces as well as Chongqing Municipality, China. Questionnaires, including a general information questionnaire, the Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale, and the Artificial Intelligence Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, were distributed. Mplus version 8.3 was used for latent profile analysis, and multinomial logistic regression was performed to analyze factors associated with profile membership. Results: A total of 526 students were included. The total AI anxiety score was 57.76 ± 15.94, indicating a moderate level of AI anxiety. AI anxiety among undergraduate nursing students was classified into three latent profiles: the low AI anxiety group (53.2%), moderate AI anxiety group (12.7%), and high AI anxiety group (34.0%). Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that gender, participation in AI-related education or courses, attitude toward AI, and monthly household income (Renminbi [RMB]) were independently associated with membership in latent profiles among undergraduate nursing students with AI anxiety ( Conclusion: Nursing undergraduates present distinct heterogeneous patterns of AI anxiety. These findings may help identify students with elevated AI anxiety and inform individualized educational interventions.
