Abstract

Background With the projected significant increase in the use of AI in nursing education, it becomes vital for nurse faculty to adequately equip student nurses with the necessary competences to effectively utilize AI in their studies. Ensuring that student nurses are prepared and ready to embrace AI technology is imperative for their successful integration into the healthcare workforce.Objective This study aimed to examine student nurses' readiness to embrace AI technology, explore associated factors, and identify perceived barriers to accessing AI technology.Design Cross sectional study.Settings One public-owned nursing school in the Philippines.Participants Three hundred twenty-three student nurses.Methods Data were collected using structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistics and multivariable analysis were performed to analyze the data.Results The results revealed that student nurses demonstrated moderate readiness to embrace AI in their studies (M = 2.906, SD = 0.692) and perceived moderate barriers to accessing AI technology (M = 2.336, SD = 0.719). Factors associated with students' readiness to embrace AI included self-rated technological proficiency (β = 0.170, p = 0.014), understanding of AI-powered technologies (β = 0.260, p < 0.001), and perceived AI use in nursing practice (β = 0.153, p = 0.022). The study also identified potential barriers to accessing AI technology, such as lack of computer skills to navigate AI, lack of AI knowledge and awareness, and time constraints.Conclusion The findings of this study provided valuable insights into the factors influencing student nurses' attitudes towards AI and shed light on their perceived barriers to accessing AI technology. By enhancing technological proficiency, increasing AI understanding, and providing practical experiences, nurse faculty can better prepare future nurses to effectively navigate the AI-driven healthcare environment and contribute to improved patient care outcomes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
