Abstract
Background: As artificial intelligence (AI) technologies rapidly evolve, psychiatric nurses need to be prepared for using and developing this technology in care delivery.
Aim: The purpose of this research is to explore psychiatric nurses' perspectives regarding AI applications in supporting both direct and indirect care processes.
Methods: A descriptive qualitative method was used in this study. The study sample consisted of 28 psychiatric nurses who agreed to participate in the research between April and October 2024, who had completed or were currently pursuing their master's or doctoral education. Data were collected through individual face-to-face/online meetings (via Google Meets application) with psychiatric nurses. Audio recordings were taken during the interviews. The audio recordings were transcribed verbatim and content analysis was performed.
Results: In this study, psychiatric nurses' perspectives regarding AI applications in care support were categorised under five themes: (1) Limitations of artificial intelligence in meeting patient needs, (2) Enhancing psychiatric nursing care support, (3) Future Perspectives on enhancing psychosocial care, (4) The challenging path of integration into education and care, (5) Uncertainty, unknowns, risks and concerns.
Conclusion: This study reveals psychiatric nurses' insights regarding the potential of AI, particularly in terms of developing psychosocial care, and their predictions about challenges that may be encountered in this process. Taking a pioneering role in integrating AI into care processes, psychiatric nurses may open the doors to a new era while contributing to the development of the profession.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing is an international journal which publishes research and scholarly papers that advance the development of policy, practice, research and education in all aspects of mental health nursing. We publish rigorously conducted research, literature reviews, essays and debates, and consumer practitioner narratives; all of which add new knowledge and advance practice globally.
All papers must have clear implications for mental health nursing either solely or part of multidisciplinary practice. Papers are welcomed which draw on single or multiple research and academic disciplines. We give space to practitioner and consumer perspectives and ensure research published in the journal can be understood by a wide audience. We encourage critical debate and exchange of ideas and therefore welcome letters to the editor and essays and debates in mental health.
