Student nurses' attitudes, perceived utilization, and intention to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) technology in nursing practice: A cross-sectional study
Abstract
Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the attitudes and intentions of student nurses towards Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the context of nursing practice and to explore the relationship between their attitudes towards AI, their perceptions of AI utilization in nursing practice, and their intentions to adopt AI technology. The study hypothesized that perceived utilization of AI in nursing practice would positively influence the intention to use AI and that attitudes towards AI would mediate this relationship.Background AI has the potential to revolutionize various aspects of healthcare, including nursing practice. As AI technology continues to advance, it becomes increasingly important for nurse education to prepare student nurses to leverage AI technology and be willing to adopt it in their nursing practice.Design Cross-sectional design.Methods A total of 200 student nurses from two government-owned nursing schools participated in the study. Mediation testing was performed using Hayes' PROCESS macro in SPSS (Model 4).Results Perceived AI utilization in nursing practice had a significant positive effect on student nurses' attitudes towards AI (β = 0.450, p < 0.001) and their intention to adopt AI technology (β = 0.458, p < 0.001). Attitudes towards AI partially mediated the relationship between perceived AI utilization in nursing practice and the intention to adopt AI technology (β = 0.255).Conclusion The findings suggest that student nurses had favorable perceptions of AI utilization in nursing practice, expressed high intentions to adopt AI technology, and held positive attitudes towards AI. Furthermore, student nurses' perceptions of AI utilization in nursing practice influenced their attitudes towards AI, which, in turn, affected their intentions to adopt AI technology. Nursing education programs should incorporate AI-focused coursework, training, and experiential learning to further enhance students' readiness and proficiency in utilizing AI technology. Additionally, healthcare institutions should consider creating a supportive environment for nursing students to explore and embrace AI, ultimately preparing them for the evolving landscape of AI-enhanced healthcare practice.Tweetable abstract Student nurses' attitudes towards AI technology were influenced by their perceptions of AI utilization in nursing practice, which subsequently influenced their intentions to adopt AI technology.

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.
