Abstract
Aim
To explore recent empirical studies on implementation of artificial intelligence in nursing education in hospital settings through the prism of the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) model.
Background
In the last decade, artificial intelligence has markedly influenced healthcare and nursing domains, particularly in improving care and educational processes for nursing staff. Despite its ongoing integration in nursing education, an understanding of its impact remained limited.
Design
Scoping review.
Methods
A systematic search using PubMed and ScienceDirect databases, following PRISMA guidelines, identified relevant studies. The main inclusion criteria were empirical studies from 2018 onwards and a focus on nursing students/registered nurses in hospital settings. The exclusion criteria were non-empirical documentation such as abstracts, editorials and opinion-related articles, as well as studies in surgical, pediatric, gynecological and mental health nursing.
Results
In total, 15 articles were selected from a pool of 6517 documents. The aspects mentioned in the employed literature highlighted the positive impact of artificial intelligence on educational experiences, knowledge acquisition and mental safety. Challenges of the artificial intelligence implementation in the nursing education field, such as technical issues, language barriers and limited realistic experience were also identified.
Conclusions
The findings of the review suggest that artificial intelligence provides significant benefits for nursing education. However, continuous evaluation managing weaknesses and maximizing the educational potential of artificial intelligence in the nursing field is crucial.
期刊介绍:
Nurse Education in Practice enables lecturers and practitioners to both share and disseminate evidence that demonstrates the actual practice of education as it is experienced in the realities of their respective work environments. It is supportive of new authors and will be at the forefront in publishing individual and collaborative papers that demonstrate the link between education and practice.
