Artificial intelligence literacy, anxiety, and attitudes among registered nurses across different hospital tiers: a multi-center 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
Background: The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence is driving an unprecedented technological transformation in nursing. However, the successful integration of these technologies depends largely on the proficiency and perspectives of registered nurses. Consequently, there is an urgent need to examine the psychological and behavioral responses of this workforce. Methods: A multi-center, cross-sectional survey was conducted from March to May 2026. a stratified convenience sampling method was employed to recruit 1,392 registered nurses from tertiary hospitals, secondary hospitals, and community health centers in Chongqing. Data collection instruments included a general demographic questionnaire, the Artificial Intelligence Literacy Scale, the Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale, and the General Attitudes Towards Artificial Intelligence Scale. Statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, Spearman correlation, and multiple linear regression. Results: A total of 1,392 registered nurses participated in the study, with a mean age of 34.69 ± 7.13 years. AI literacy scored 5.27 ± 0.90 (75.29% scoring rate). AI anxiety was moderate (51.29%), with the highest concerns appearing in socio-technical blindness (56.43%) and job replacement (55.14%). Overall, nurses maintained a positive attitude toward AI (74.00%). AI literacy was negatively correlated with anxiety ( Conclusion: Nurses demonstrated high AI literacy and positive attitudes; however, anxiety remained prominent. Enhancing AI literacy may alleviate psychological anxiety, with device accessibility and usage patterns also playing critical roles. To facilitate the effective integration of artificial intelligence into clinical practice, administrators should strengthen institutional support mechanisms alongside providing facility resources and conventional education, thereby promoting the full utilization and translation of available resources.
