Multiple regression results showed that duty, use experience, recognition, smartphone self-efficacy and daily use time were the main factors affecting the acceptance of a mobile nursing APP for nurses (t value was -7.132-22.678, P<0.05 or 0.01) and explained 39.1% of the total variation of the acceptance of mobile nursing app (P<0.01).
