Abstract：Objective To explore the current status and latent categories of clinical nurses'information security attitudes and its influencing factors.Methods A total of 312 nursing staff from a tertiary Grade A hospital in Wuxi were surveyed using a general information questionnaire,the Information Security Attitude Scale,and the Nursing Information Competence Assessment Scale.Latent class analysis and multinomial Logistic regression analysis were used to identify the latent classes and influencing factors of nurses'attitudes towards information security.Results Nurses'information security attitudes could be categorized into three latent classes:negative information security attitude group(22.436%),neutral information security attitude group-high information access restrictions(33.333%),and positive information security attitude group.The Influencing factors of the latent categories of information security attitude included nursing tenure,information security training,exposure to information security incidents,professional position,and nursing informatics competency(P<0.05).Conclusion Clinical nurses'information security attitudes can be classified into three latent classes,suggesting that nursing management can develop personalized,targeted intervention strategies based on these latent classes and influencing factors to enhance positive information security attitudes among nursing staff.
