Artificial Intelligence in the Professional Communication of Future Nurses

Abstract

The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into healthcare and medical education has transformed the way future nurses develop professional communication skills. This paper explores the role of AI in enhancing communication competence among nursing students, focusing on the use of intelligent tutoring systems, chatbots, and virtual simulations in the learning process. The research also discusses ethical considerations, digital literacy, and the need for emotional intelligence in balancing technology with human-centered care. Through case examples such as ChatGPT-assisted learning and AI-based patient communication simulators, the study illustrates how AI can support empathy, accuracy, and decision-making in clinical interactions. The paper concludes that integrating AI responsibly into nursing education is crucial for preparing professionals capable of communicating effectively in technology-rich healthcare environments.
