When Healthcare Professionals Use AI: Exploring Work Well-Being Through Psychological Needs Satisfaction and Job Complexity.
Article in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
This study examines how the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by healthcare professionals affects their work well-being through the satisfaction of basic psychological needs, framed within Self-Determination Theory. Data from 280 healthcare professionals across various departments in Chinese hospitals were collected, and the hierarchical regression and regression were analyzed to assess the relationship between the use of AI, psychological needs satisfaction (autonomy, competence, and relatedness), and their work well-being. The results reveal that the use of AI enhances work well-being indirectly by increasing the satisfaction of these psychological needs. Additionally, job complexity serves as a boundary condition that moderates the relationship between the use of AI and work well-being. Specifically, job complexity weakens the relationship between the use of AI and the satisfaction of autonomy and competence, while having no significant effect on the relationship between the use of AI and the satisfaction of relatedness. These findings suggest that the impact of the use of AI on healthcare professionals' well-being is contingent on job complexity. This study highlights that promoting healthcare professionals' well-being at work in the context of AI adoption requires not only technological implementation but also ongoing adaptation to meet their evolving psychological needs. These insights provide a theoretical foundation and practical guidance for integrating AI into healthcare to support the well-being of healthcare professionals.
