Abstract

Aim

This study was conducted to identify nursing students' medical artificial intelligence readiness and individual innovativeness levels, to examine the relationship between these two concepts and to determine the variables that create a significant difference.

Methods

A descriptive and correlational design was employed. The sample of the study consisted of undergraduate nursing students from two different universities in Istanbul province, both of which focus on similar educational goals (n = 386). Data were collected between March and May 2024 using a questionnaire involving a “Student Information Form,” the “Medical Artificial Intelligence Readiness Scale,” and the “Individual Innovativeness Scale.” Descriptive statistical methods, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson correlation test were used to analyze the data.

Results

The mean age of the students was 21.78 ± 1.84 years (18–35), 78.8 % were female, and 35.5 % were 2nd- and 3rd-year students. The students' mean score was 69.36 ± 12.92 on the total Medical Artificial Intelligence Readiness Scale and 52.92 ± 7.37 on the total Individual Innovativeness Scale. In addition, gender, family structure, income status, choosing the nursing department willingly, following scientific/technological developments in the field, having received training in artificial intelligence, having knowledge about the use of artificial intelligence in the health field and nursing, and having attended training/seminars on innovation were determined to be effective variables on Medical Artificial Intelligence Readiness and Individual Innovation. There was a significant positive relationship between the mean total and subscale scores on the Medical Artificial Intelligence Readiness Scale and the Individual Innovativeness Scale (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

Nursing students' medical artificial intelligence readiness levels were above average, and their individual innovativeness levels were low. It was found that as the students' medical artificial intelligence readiness levels increased, their individual innovativeness levels increased, as well. Although increased readiness levels boost the level of individual innovation, promising practices should be integrated into education for more advanced relationships and higher scores.
