Resident Registered Nurse Anesthetists' Use of Cognitive Enhancers in the U.S.

Key Points

• This research aims to understand the factors influencing the use of cognitive enhancers among resident registered nurse anesthetists in the U.S.
• Conducted a logistic regression analysis to identify predictors of cognitive enhancer (CE) use.
• Focused on ADHD and anxiety as potential significant predictors based on survey data.
• Utilized backward stepwise selection model to refine predictor variables.
• ADHD is linked to increased odds of cognitive enhancer use (aOR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.10-1.24).
• Anxiety was also identified as a significant predictor of cognitive enhancer use in the analysis.
