TL;DR

Nursing students showed a favorable perception toward AIHTs but emphasized the need for structured training programs within nursing curricula, which will enhance preparedness for future clinical practice and promote effective utilization of AI-based healthcare systems.

Abstract

Background: Artificial Intelligence Health Technologies (AIHTs) are rapidly transforming healthcare delivery systems worldwide. Nursing students, as future healthcare professionals, must be prepared to adapt to emerging AI-driven clinical environments. Evaluating their awareness, perceptions, readiness, and expected professional impact is essential for strengthening nursing education and practice. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the foresighted effects of Artificial Intelligence Health Technologies on nursing students in terms of knowledge, attitude, readiness, perceived benefits, and anticipated challenges in clinical practice. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among undergraduate nursing students using a structured questionnaire. Data were collected regarding demographic variables, awareness of AIHTs, perceived usefulness, expected professional impact, and concerns regarding ethical and technical challenges. Statistical analysis included descriptive and inferential methods. Results: The study findings revealed that most nursing students demonstrated moderate awareness of AIHTs and expressed positive attitudes toward integrating AI technologies into healthcare settings. Students perceived AI as beneficial for improving patient care accuracy, reducing workload, and supporting clinical decision-making. However, concerns regarding reduced human interaction, ethical issues, and lack of technical training were also reported. Conclusion: Nursing students showed a favorable perception toward AIHTs but emphasized the need for structured training programs within nursing curricula. Integrating AI education into nursing programs will enhance preparedness for future clinical practice and promote effective utilization of AI-based healthcare systems.

Empowering Future Nurses: Integrating Artificial Intelligence into Nursing Education

: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly transforming healthcare and creating new competency requirements for future nurses. This narrative review examines the applications, benefits, challenges, and curriculum implications of integrating AI into nursing education. Current evidence shows that AI can support personalised learning, intelligent tutoring, automated feedback, teaching preparation, virtual patients, and simulation-based training. These applications may improve students’ knowledge acquisition, engagement, communication, clinical reasoning, decision-making, and readiness for practice. However, AI integration also raises concerns about inaccurate or fabricated information, algorithmic bias, patient privacy, data security, academic integrity, accountability, and excessive dependence on automated tools. Differences in faculty readiness, institutional resources, and access to technology may further limit effective and equitable implementation. Preparing future nurses for AI-enabled healthcare therefore requires more than technical skills. Nursing students need AI literacy, critical evaluation skills, information verification ability, ethical awareness, data protection knowledge, and strong clinical judgement. AI content should be progressively integrated into nursing informatics, ethics, research, clinical, and simulation courses, supported by faculty development, clear institutional policies, and assessment methods that evaluate students’ reasoning processes. Future research should use longitudinal, experimental, and multicentre designs to examine the long-term effects of AI on clinical competence, patient safety, and professional practice. AI should ultimately enhance rather than replace nurses’ clinical judgement, ethical responsibility, communication, and compassionate care.
