Clinical Nurses' Perceptions of Digital Nursing Technology: A Qualitative Analysis Using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB).
Article in Nursing open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
aimsThis study explored factors influencing clinical nurses' adoption of digital nursing technologies (DNT) and examined their perceptions and behavioural intentions using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB).
designA qualitative content analysis was conducted, guided by the TPB framework.
methodsIn depth interviews were conducted with 21 clinical nurses between March and April 2023. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis to identify themes related to DNT perceptions and experiences.
resultsSeven main themes and 23 subthemes emerged. Nurses recognised benefits such as reduced workload, improved accuracy, enhanced efficiency, and expanded nursing services. Challenges included learning difficulties, limited perceived usefulness, data security concerns, and technical errors. Facilitators of adoption included supportive colleagues, role models, structured training, user-friendly technologies, adequate resources, positive prior experiences, and patient-centered design, while cultural resistance, lack of managerial support, and unclear regulatory guidance impeded use.
conclusionEffective adoption of DNT requires targeted educational programs to enhance nurses' digital competencies, user-friendly technology interfaces, and clear institutional policies. Addressing both individual and organisational factors is critical for safe and sustainable integration of digital technologies into nursing practice. REPORTING
methodThis study adhered to the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) guidelines. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No patient or public involvement.
