Abstract

Background

In recent years, artificial intelligence has driven change and transformation in many areas of life, including healthcare.

Aim

The aim of this study is to identify intern nurses' views on artificial intelligence.

Methods

A total of 198 intern nurses were included in the parallel mixed design study. Data were collected using the personal information form, artificial intelligence literacy scale, artificial intelligence anxiety scale and semi-structured interview form.

Results

In this study, it was found that the mean score of artificial intelligence literacy scale was 58.30 ± 21.92 and the mean score of artificial intelligence anxiety scale was 43.68 ± 18.79. It was also found that participants saw artificial intelligence as an innovative program that provides healthcare support, but had concerns about information security.

Conclusions

This study shows that being a woman, having concerns about artificial intelligence, entrusting vital decisions to artificial intelligence, and knowledge of artificial intelligence are important variables predicting artificial intelligence anxiety. It was also found that while intern nurses have a positive attitude toward artificial intelligence, they have ethical concerns about patient confidentiality and information disclosure.

实习护士对护理实践中人工智能的看法：平行混合方法研究

近年来，人工智能推动了包括医疗保健在内的许多生活领域的变革和转型。目的本研究旨在了解实习护士对人工智能的看法。方法对198名实习护士进行平行混合设计研究。采用个人信息表、人工智能素养量表、人工智能焦虑量表和半结构化访谈表收集数据。结果本研究发现，人工智能素养量表的平均得分为58.30±21.92，人工智能焦虑量表的平均得分为43.68±18.79。研究还发现，参与者将人工智能视为提供医疗保健支持的创新项目，但对信息安全表示担忧。本研究表明，作为女性，对人工智能的担忧，将重要决策委托给人工智能，以及对人工智能的了解是预测人工智能焦虑的重要变量。研究还发现，虽然实习护士对人工智能持积极态度，但他们对患者保密和信息披露存在伦理担忧。
