Background: The academic and emotional challenges faced by medical students can affect critical thinking and may also contribute to the development of increased generalized anxiety. Similarly, critical thinking and generalized anxiety can impact study satisfaction through the mediating mechanism of academic self-efficacy. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the mediating role of academic self-efficacy between critical thinking and generalized anxiety in study satisfaction among medical students. Methods: A cross-sectional and explanatory study was conducted involving 259 Peruvian medical students aged between 18 and 35 (M = 20.29, SD = 2.84). The evaluation was based on self-reported questionnaires covering critical thinking, generalized anxiety, academic self-efficacy, and study satisfaction. Furthermore, a structural equation modeling (SEM) and mediation approach was employed to examine the relationships between variables. Results: The results showed an adequate fit of the model [χ² (87) = 155, p < 0.001, CFI = 0.93, TLI = 0.92, RMSEA = 0.05 (CI: 0.04–0.07), SRMR = 0.07], demonstrating the impact of critical thinking and generalized anxiety. It was confirmed that academic self-efficacy has a positive effect on study satisfaction. Moreover, the mediating role of academic self-efficacy was confirmed between critical thinking and study satisfaction, as well as between generalized anxiety and study satisfaction. Conclusions: Due to the high academic load on medical students, academic self-efficacy plays a mediating role in the relationship between critical thinking, generalized anxiety, and satisfaction with studies. The development of educational strategies will help to promote critical thinking and academic self-efficacy, as well as provide support to students with generalized anxiety, to enhance study satisfaction.

Background: The advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has transformed the way students interact with technological tools, creating new challenges related to self-efficacy, anxiety, and AI dependence. Self-efficacy refers to one's confidence in their ability to use AI, while AI-related anxiety pertains to the fear or concern when interacting with these systems. These variables can influence technological dependence, affecting academic performance and emotional well-being. Objective: This study aims to examine the influence of self-efficacy in AI use and anxiety toward AI on AI dependence among Peruvian university students. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 528 Peruvian university students aged 18 to 37 years (M = 19.00, SD = 3.84). Scales were used to measure AI self-efficacy, anxiety toward AI, and AI dependence. Correlation and multiple regression analyses were applied to identify predictors of technological dependence. Results: The results showed that AI self-efficacy was positively correlated with AI anxiety (r = 0.43, p < .01) and AI dependence (r = 0.61, p < .01). Anxiety also significantly correlated with AI dependence (r = 0.71, p < .01). Multiple regression analysis revealed that both AI anxiety (β = 1.131, p < .001) and AI self-efficacy (β = 0.610, p < .001) predicted AI dependence. Additionally, business administration students exhibited greater dependence compared to students from other fields (β = 1.025, p < .05). Conclusions: Students with higher self-efficacy in AI use tend to utilize AI more frequently but also experience greater anxiety and dependence on AI. Educational interventions should focus on reducing AI-related anxiety to prevent excessive dependence, especially among students.

AI has revolutionized the workplace, significantly impacting the nursing profession. Attitudes toward AI, defined as workers’ perceptions and beliefs about its utility and effectiveness, are critical for its adoption and efficient use in clinical settings. Factors such as age, marital status, and education level may influence this relationship, affecting job performance. This study examines the influence of attitude toward AI on job performance with AI among Peruvian nurses, while also assessing how sociodemographic characteristics moderate this relationship. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used with a sample of 249 Peruvian nurses aged 24 to 53 years (M = 35.58, SD = 8.3). Data were collected using two validated scales: the Brief Artificial Intelligence Job Performance Scale (BAIJPS) and the Attitude toward Artificial Intelligence Scale (AIAS-4). Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlations, and multiple linear regression were applied. A significant positive correlation was found between attitude toward AI and job performance with AI (r = 0.43, p < 0.01). Age (β = -0.177, p < 0.05), divorced marital status (β = -8.144, p < 0.01), and having a bachelor’s degree (β = -3.016, p < 0.05) were negatively associated with job performance, while being from the Selva region had a positive effect (β = 4.182, p < 0.05). A favorable attitude toward AI positively influences nurses’ job performance, highlighting the need for interventions that enhance AI perception. Age, marital status, and education moderate this relationship, suggesting AI adoption strategies should be tailored to different demographic groups.
