[Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats Analysis of Integrating ChatGPT Into Nursing Education].

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is driving global change, and the implementation of generative AI in higher education is inevitable. AI language models such as the chat generative pre-trained transformer (ChatGPT) hold the potential to revolutionize the delivery of nursing education in the future. Nurse educators play a crucial role in preparing nursing students for a future technology-integrated healthcare system. While the technology has limitations and potential biases, the emergence of ChatGPT presents both opportunities and challenges. It is critical for faculty to be familiar with the capabilities and limitations of this model to foster effective, ethical, and responsible utilization of AI technology while preparing students in advance for the dynamic and rapidly advancing landscape of nursing and healthcare. Therefore, this article was written to present a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis of integrating ChatGPT into nursing education, providing a guide for implementing ChatGPT in nursing education and offering a well-rounded assessment to help nurse educators make informed decisions.
