Abstract

Background

Artificial Intelligence (AI) transforms healthcare delivery, offering tools like clinical decision support and predictive analytics. The successful integration of AI in healthcare relies on the attitudes and perceptions of future healthcare providers, including nursing students.

Aim

Explore nursing students' attitudes and perceptions towards AI usability in healthcare and assess factors influencing that.

Methods

A descriptive design was utilized with 600 nursing students recruited through convenience sampling. Data were collected using the General Attitudes Towards Artificial Intelligence Scale and the Technology Acceptance Model questionnaire.

Results

Nursing students exhibited a significantly positive attitude towards using AI in health care (66.20 ± 7.38). This positive sentiment was further supported by the high mean score for perceived AI usability (46.40 ± 6.41), encompassing both usefulness (23.89 ± 4.15) and ease of use (22.52 ± 3.79).

Conclusion

Undergraduate nursing students have shown embracing attitudes and robust perceptions of AI usability. Student gender, prior AI training, and academic level were identified as significant positive predictors of attitudes and perceptions toward the usability of AI in healthcare.

拥抱未来：深入了解护理专业学生对人工智能在医疗保健领域的可用性的态度和看法

人工智能（AI）改变了医疗服务，提供了临床决策支持和预测分析等工具。人工智能在医疗保健领域的成功整合取决于未来医疗保健提供者（包括护理专业学生）的态度和看法。目的探讨护生对医疗保健中人工智能可用性的态度和看法，并评估影响因素。方法采用描述性设计，采用方便抽样法对600名护生进行调查。数据收集使用对人工智能的一般态度量表和技术接受模型问卷。结果护生对人工智能在医疗保健中的应用持积极态度（66.20 ± 7.38）。这种积极的情绪进一步得到了人工智能可用性的高平均分（46.40 ± 6.41）的支持，包括有用性（23.89 ± 4.15）和易用性（22.52 ± 3.79）。结论本科护生对人工智能可用性表现出积极的态度和强烈的认知。学生性别、之前的人工智能培训和学术水平被认为是对医疗保健中人工智能可用性的态度和看法的显著正向预测因素。
