Abstract

Aim

This qualitative study aims to explore the perspectives of nursing students regarding the application and integration of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in their studies.

Background

With the increasing prevalence of generative AI tools in academic settings, there is a growing interest in their use among students for learning and assessments.

Design

Employing a qualitative descriptive design, this study used semi-structured interviews with nursing students to capture the nuanced insights of the participants.

Methods

Semi-structured interviews were digitally recorded and then transcribed verbatim. The research team reviewed all the data independently and then convened to discuss and reach a consensus on the identified themes.

Results

This study was conducted within the discipline of nursing at a regional Australian university. Thirteen nursing students, from both first and second year of the programme, were interviewed as part of this study. Six distinct themes emerged from the data analysis, including the educational impact of AI tools, equitable learning environment, ethical considerations of AI use, technology integration, safe and practical utility and generational differences.

Conclusions

This initial exploration sheds light on the diverse perspectives of nursing students concerning the incorporation of generative AI tools in their education. It underscores the potential for both positive contributions and challenges associated with the integration of generative AI in nursing education and practice.

挑战与机遇并存：护理专业学生对高等教育中生成式人工智能的看法

背景随着生成式人工智能工具在学术环境中的日益普及，学生们对使用这些工具进行学习和评估的兴趣也与日俱增。设计本研究采用定性描述设计，对护理专业学生进行半结构化访谈，以捕捉参与者细微的见解。研究小组独立审查了所有数据，然后召开会议进行讨论，并就确定的主题达成共识。作为研究的一部分，13 名护理专业的一年级和二年级学生接受了访谈。通过数据分析，我们发现了六个不同的主题，包括人工智能工具对教育的影响、公平的学习环境、人工智能使用的伦理考虑、技术整合、安全实用性和代际差异。它强调了将生成式人工智能融入护理教育和实践的潜在积极贡献和挑战。
