Abstract

AIM: This research was planned to identify nurse managers' opinions on artificial intelligence and robot nurses. BACKGROUND: As the concepts of artificial intelligence and robot nurses are becoming widespread in Turkey, nurse managers are expected to guide and cooperate with nurses in the future in regard to these technologies. METHODS: The sample of the study consisted of 326 manager nurses, who were reached via the online questionnaire during the period of September to November 2021. A Nurse Managers Information Form and a Question Form on Artificial Intelligence and Robot Nurses were used to collect data. Data in this cross-sectional descriptive study were collected between September 2021 and November 2021 by the online survey method. The descriptive statistics of the data were analysed with numbers and percentages. The difference between the knowledge of artificial intelligence and robot nurses and demographic characteristics was analysed with the chi-square test. RESULTS: According to the findings, 66.9% of the nurse managers reported having heard the concepts of artificial intelligence and robot nurses previously. 67.2% stated that they thought that robot nurses would benefit the nursing profession, but 86.2% voiced disbelief that robots would replace nurses. CONCLUSIONS: The majority of the participating nurse managers reported that artificial intelligence and robot nurses would not replace nurses but would be beneficial for nurses and would reduce their workload. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: It should be ensured that the nurse managers plan the areas in the hospital where artificial intelligence and robot nurses will be used and determine the possible risks. Awareness should be increased with in-service trainings, and patient safety and ethical problems regarding the use of artificial intelligence and robot nurses should be identified.

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.
