Abstract

Aim

The aim of this study was to investigate the attitudes and intentions of student nurses towards Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the context of nursing practice and to explore the relationship between their attitudes towards AI, their perceptions of AI utilization in nursing practice, and their intentions to adopt AI technology. The study hypothesized that perceived utilization of AI in nursing practice would positively influence the intention to use AI and that attitudes towards AI would mediate this relationship.

Background

AI has the potential to revolutionize various aspects of healthcare, including nursing practice. As AI technology continues to advance, it becomes increasingly important for nurse education to prepare student nurses to leverage AI technology and be willing to adopt it in their nursing practice.

Design

Cross-sectional design.

Methods

A total of 200 student nurses from two government-owned nursing schools participated in the study. Mediation testing was performed using Hayes' PROCESS macro in SPSS (Model 4).

Results

Perceived AI utilization in nursing practice had a significant positive effect on student nurses' attitudes towards AI (β = 0.450, p < 0.001) and their intention to adopt AI technology (β = 0.458, p < 0.001). Attitudes towards AI partially mediated the relationship between perceived AI utilization in nursing practice and the intention to adopt AI technology (β = 0.255).

Conclusion

The findings suggest that student nurses had favorable perceptions of AI utilization in nursing practice, expressed high intentions to adopt AI technology, and held positive attitudes towards AI. Furthermore, student nurses' perceptions of AI utilization in nursing practice influenced their attitudes towards AI, which, in turn, affected their intentions to adopt AI technology. Nursing education programs should incorporate AI-focused coursework, training, and experiential learning to further enhance students' readiness and proficiency in utilizing AI technology. Additionally, healthcare institutions should consider creating a supportive environment for nursing students to explore and embrace AI, ultimately preparing them for the evolving landscape of AI-enhanced healthcare practice.

Tweetable abstract

Student nurses' attitudes towards AI technology were influenced by their perceptions of AI utilization in nursing practice, which subsequently influenced their intentions to adopt AI technology.

实习护士在护理实践中采用人工智能技术的态度、感知利用率和意图：一项横断面研究。

目的：本研究旨在调查实习护士在护理实践中对人工智能（AI）的态度和意图，并探讨他们对人工智能的态度、对护理实践中人工智能使用的看法以及他们采用人工智能技术的意图之间的关系。该研究假设，在护理实践中感知到的人工智能使用将积极影响使用人工智能的意图，对人工智能的态度将介导这种关系。背景：人工智能有可能彻底改变医疗保健的各个方面，包括护理实践。随着人工智能技术的不断进步，培养实习护士利用人工智能技术并愿意将其应用于护理实践，对护士教育来说变得越来越重要。设计：横截面设计。方法：来自两所公立护理学校的200名实习护士参与了这项研究。中介测试使用SPSS中的Hayes’PROCESS宏进行（模型4）。结果：护士实习中感知到的人工智能使用对实习护士对人工智能的态度（β=0.450，p<0.001）和采用人工智能技术的意愿（β=0.458，p<0.001）有显著的正向影响研究结果表明，实习护士对人工智能在护理实践中的应用有良好的认知，对采用人工智能技术有较高的意愿，对人工智能持积极态度。护理教育项目应包括以人工智能为重点的课程、培训和体验式学习，以进一步提高学生利用人工智能技术的准备程度和熟练程度。此外，医疗机构应考虑为护理专业学生创造一个探索和拥抱人工智能的支持性环境，最终为他们应对人工智能增强医疗实践的不断发展做好准备。推特摘要：实习护士对人工智能技术的态度受到他们在护理实践中对人工智能使用的看法的影响，这随后影响了他们采用人工智能技术。
