INTRODUCTION
“Artificial intelligence is the science of making
machines do things that would require intelligence if
done by humans”
– John McCarthy
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science. It is an intelligent
system that uses computer technology to simulate, extend, expand, and realize
the human mind to carry out thinking activities, learn knowledge, etc., and to
help human beings solve problems . With the rapid development of the Internet
and AI, the combination of AI and medicine has had far-reaching effects on
healthcare systems and nursing .1
[Link]

Artificial intelligence (AI) comprises many health care technologies


transforming nurses role and enhancing patient care. In health care Artificial
intelligence (AI) typically refers to the ability of computers to independently
convert data into knowledge to guide decision on autonomous action.2

ial_Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) holds significant importance for nurses in various


ways enhancing their roles and importing patient care. AI can assist nurses by
providing accurate and rapid diagnosis support , helping them make quicker and
more accurate assessment of patient condition . AI can help nurses tailor care
plans to individual patient by analysing patient data and providing insight into
personalized treatment and intervention . AI powered clinical decision support
system can provide real time information and recommendation to nurses at the
bedside, helping them make informed decisions about patient
care.3[Link]

BACKGROUD OF THE STUDY


Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a game-changing technology in recent
years, with a broad range of uses in healthcare, such as administrative tasks,
patient monitoring, treatment planning, and diagnostics. A more thorough
comprehension of AI's effects on nursing practice and education is required
given its expanding involvement in clinical practice, research, and healthcare
administration. Examining nursing students' attitudes and knowledge of AI is
essential as the healthcare industry adopts these technological developments,
especially when it comes to research [Link] intelligence (AI) has
been a game-changing technology in recent years, with a wide range of uses in
healthcare, such as administrative tasks, patient monitoring, treatment planning,
and diagnostics. A greater comprehension of AI's effects on nursing practice and
education is necessary given its expanding importance in clinical practice,
research, and healthcare administration.
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.

Birth of Artificial Intelligence ( 1950 - 1956): This range of time was when the
interest in AI really came to a head. Alan Turing published his work “Computer
Machinery and Intelligence” which eventually became The Turing Test, which
experts used to measure computer intelligence. The term “artificial intelligence”
was coined and came into popular use.

Initial progress (1950s – 1960s): Early AI research focused on problem solving


and symbolic method. Programs like logic , theory and general problem solver
demonstrated the potential of computer to solve logical problems.
Challenges and setbacks (1970s – 1980s): AI faced limitation due to
insufficient computing power and overlay ambitious expectation, leading to
periods of reduced funding and interest known as “AI counters”.

Revival and growth (1980s – 1990s): The introduction of expert system and
advancement in machine learning rekindled interest in AI. Companies began
investing in AI for specific application such as medical diagnosis and financial
forecasting.

Deep learning revolution (2010s): Significant break in deep learning,


particularly with convolutional neural networks , to advancement in image and
speed recognition. Companies like google and Facebook harnessed these
technologies for various application.

NEED FOR THE STUDY


The machines with human like intelligence are influencing at the same time
helping our lines at every stage.
AI has already started playing a major role in our lives. Today, more than before
easy to spot the portions of our mordern life where Artificial intellegence has
penetrateWe people in today world have been hearing the world AI. But most of
the people don’t know exactly what does this Artificial intelligence mean? and
moreover why it is necessary in today’s world. But today the people do not
know that this Artificial Intelligence has been everywere in today world. For
every decade, the population is being increased in an expected way and the
hidden fact that we need to know is that we were already using the Artificial
Intelligence
Safaa Hussein Mohamed, Mona Abed El-Rahman Mohamed ,etal (2023) :
The medical and surgical departments of Mansoura University Hospitals served
as the study's sites. A basic random sample consisted of the selection of 203
nurses. A self-administered Artificial Intelligence Knowledge Questionnaire and
a General Attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence Questionnaire were the two
instruments utilized to gather the data required for the study. The Internet was
the main source of information for nurses' awareness of artificial intelligence
(73.9%).16.3% of the nurses in the study had a satisfactory level of knowledge
overall before the intervention, 82.8% right after, and then 68% after that.
Therefore, it is advised that workshops and training programs be used to help
nurses learn more about artificial intelligence and develop more positive
attitudes toward technology. Additional education and training are also
necessary to help nurses incorporate AI into their nursing practices.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

CHAPTER 01
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
INTRODUCTION
A Literature review refers to the activates involved in identifying and
searching for information on topic and understanding . It is a written
summery to the state of the art on research. A literature review uses as
its database reports of primary or original scholarship and does not
report new primary scholarship itself. The primary reports used in the
literature may be verbal, but in the vast majority of cases , report are
written documents. The types of scholarship may be empirical,
theoretical ,critical/ analytic, or methodological in nature. ( H.M.
Cooper,1988)
➢ According to Polit and Hungler (1999) review of literature is a
critical summary of research on a topic of interest generally prepared
to put a research problem in context or to identify gaps and weakness
in prior studies so as to justify a new investigation.
➢ The major goal of review of literature is to develop a strong
knowledge base to carry out research and other scholarly and clinical
practice setting activities. ( Wood and Haber, 2000).

REVIEW OF LITERATURE :
I ) REVIEW OF LITERATURE RELATED TO THE ATTITUDE OF
AI :-
1. STUDY RELATED TO INFLUENCED OF AI ETHICS AWARENESS ,
ATTITUDE ,ANXIETY AND SELFEFFICACY ON NURSING
STUDENT‘S BEHAVIORAL INTENTIONS
Jung-Won Ahn , Yeunhee Kwak(2022) conducted a study on
influenced of AI ethics awareness , attitude , anxiety and selfficacy on
nursing student’s behavioral intentions, at Gyeonggi-do . this study
the participants included 189 nursing students in Gyeonggi-do, with
data collected from November to December 2021 using self-reported
questionnaires. The findings showed that the third and fourth-year
nursing students had higher scores for selfefficacy ,positive attitude
toward AI (,and AI ethical awareness than the first and second-year
nursing students, while their anxiety scores were lower. Behavioral
intention was influenced by self-efficacy and a favorable attitude
toward AI. The R2 was 0.42 after [Link] healthcare settings,
instructional programs on AI-based technologies are essential for
fostering a favorable attitude toward AI and self-efficacy.

2. STUDY RELATED TO NURSING STUDENT’S PERCEPTION AND


ATTITUDES TOWARD UTILIZATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
IN HEALTHCARE:-
Samira Ahmed Alsenany,Obay A. AIMaraira,Suzan El-Said
Mansour(2024), conducted a study on nursing students’ perception
and attitudes toward utilization of Artificial Intelligence in Health
care. in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, at Vision Medical College.
Convenience sampling was used to include 206 nursing program
participants in the study. Three tools were used to collect data: a self-
administered questionnaire that asked about the demographics of
student nurses and a questionnaire that gauged attitudes and
perceptions of artificial intelligence. The majority of participants
(79.6%) were found to be familiar with artificial intelligence, and
their attitudes toward its use were found to be significantly correlated
with their demographic characteristics (familiarity with AI, self-
assessed technological competence, living location, and educational
attainment). Additionally, it revealed that 64% of participants were in
favor of employing artificial intelligence. It concluded that the
students most likely held positive attitudes and had a favorable
perception toward utilization of artificial intelligence in health care.
Arranging frequent workshops and training sessions for healthcare
personnel and student nurses to enhance their knowledge about
artificial intelligence and its developments.

3. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCEIN NURSING :


UNDERSTANDING NURSES’ PERCEPTION AND ATTITUDE:
Mohammed Rawdhan AI Sabawy(2023)A conducted a study on the
attitude and perception of nurses towards AI. An online questionnaire
survey was distributed to 410 nursing professionals in the Kirkuk
Health Department. The survey collected information on demographic
profiles, understanding and sources of AI knowledge, and attitudes
towards AI adoption in nursing practices. The study found that 42.7%
of nurses gained knowledge about AI through various platforms,
including news outlets, media broadcasts, and social networks. About
51% had a moderate perception of AI utilization in nursing practice,
while 47% showed a high level of perception. Remarkably, 84%
demonstrated a positive attitude toward the adoption of AI in their
nursing [Link] study uncovered a significant degree of
variability in understanding and comfort with AI, with many
individuals gaining their knowledge through passive channels.
Notably, educational level influenced nurses' attitudes toward AI, with
those possessing higher educational qualifications tending to view AI
more [Link] findings underscore the need for more
comprehensive and accessible AI education, particularly in the
nursing practice.

4. STUDY RELATED TO STUDENT NURSES ATTITUDES ,


PERCEIVED UTILIZATION AND INTENTION TO ADOPT AI
TECHNOLOGY IN NURSING PRACTICE : A CROSS
SECTION STUDY
Leodoro J Labrague , Rheajane Aguilar-Rosales(2023)- conducted
a study on 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 included 200 student nurses from two
government-owned nursing schools. Hayes' PROCESS macro in
SPSS was used to conduct mediation testing (Model 4).Student
nurses' attitudes about AI and intention to employ AI technology were
significantly positively impacted by perceived AI utilization in
nursing practice. The connection between the intention to use AI
technology and the perception of its use in nursing practice was
partially mediated by attitudes about AI. Anita Lukic , Vesna
Anticevic(2023)-. Conducted a study on first year students’ attitude
towards AI . The study was performed at nursing schools of four
Croatian universities, surveying a total of 336 first-year nursing
students (response rate 69.7%) enrolled in 2021. A validated
instrument, the General Attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence Scale,
consisting of 20 Likert-type items, was chosen for the study. Where
applicable, the items were contextualized for nursing. Four sub-scales
were identified based on the outcomes of the factor analysis. Results:
The average attitude score was (mean ± standard deviation), out of a
maximum of 100, which was significantly higher than the neutral
score of 60.0 . The attitude towards AI did not differ across the
universities and was not associated with students' age. Male students
scored slightly higher than their female colleagues. Scores on
subscales "Benefits of artificial intelligence in nursing", "Willingness
to use artificial intelligence in nursing practice", and "Dangers of
artificial intelligence" were favorable of artificial intelligence-based
solutions. However, scores on the subscale "Practical advantages of
artificial intelligence" were somewhat unfavorable..

nursing schools of four Croatian universities, surveying a total of 336
first-year nursing students (response rate 69.7%) enrolled in 2021. A
validated instrument, the General Attitudes towards Artificial
Intelligence Scale, consisting of 20 Likert-type items, was chosen for
the study. Where applicable, the items were contextualized for
nursing. Four sub-scales were identified based on the outcomes of the
factor analysis. Results: The average attitude score was (mean ±
standard deviation), out of a maximum of 100, which was
significantly higher than the neutral score of 60.0 . The attitude
towards AI did not differ across the universities and was not
associated with students' age. Male students scored slightly higher
than their female colleagues. Scores on subscales "Benefits of
artificial intelligence in nursing", "Willingness to use artificial
intelligence in nursing practice", and "Dangers of artificial
intelligence" were favorable of artificial intelligence-based solutions.
However, scores on the subscale "Practical advantages of artificial
intelligence" were somewhat unfavorable.

6)NURSING STUDENTS’ PERSONALITY TRAITS AND THEIR


ATTITUDE TOWARD ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Gihan
Mohamed Mohamed Salem , Heba Emad(2024),conducted study
on nursing students’ personality traits and their attitude towards AI at
Kingdom of Saudi. This multicenter cross-sectional study included
218 nursing students from three governmental universities across
various regions. Data were gathered online, utilizing the Big Five
Inventory, the General Attitudes toward Artificial Intelligence Scale,
and a demographic questionnaire. Findings indicated that nursing
students with a high score in the openness trait displayed positive
attitudes toward artificial intelligence. Conversely, those who scored
high in neuroticism and agreeableness exhibited fewer positive
attitudes toward artificial intelligence and more negative attitudes
toward artificial intelligence.
Additionally, nursing students who ranked high in conscientiousness
showed a negative attitude toward artificial intelligence. Conclusion.
Except for extraversion, personality traits appear to predict attitudes
toward artificial intelligence. Implications for Nursing Management.
The current study provides a foundation for understanding how
generative AI can be integrated into nursing education and practice in
a manner that is both effective and considerate of the diverse
psychological profiles of students.

7)NURSING STUDENTS’ KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDE REGARDING

intelligence, and others in China. They were asked to fill out a
questionnaire that had four sections and twenty-one questions. The
poll was anonymous and performed in accordance with the voluntary
participation concept. Throughout the study, participants were free to
leave the survey at any moment.1,243 valid questionnaires were
collected for this investigation. Sixty-seven percent of the participants
knew very little about artificial intelligence (AI) in nursing, whereas
four and a half percent knew nothing at all, and thirteen percent knew
nothing at all. With over 50% of respondents agreeing and strongly
agreeing with every question about views toward AI in nursing,
participants' opinions were generally positive. There were statistically
significant differences in the number of participants with different
professional categories in terms of their knowledge and attitudes
toward AI in nursing . for ethical problems and issues surrounding AI
in nursing, all participants voiced worries, and 95.7% of them said
that medical ethics for AI in nursing needed to be strengthened .

Attitudes toward AI among nursing students show regional variance, often linked to levels of education and cultural factors. In Gyeonggi-do, students with higher educational attainment displayed more positive attitudes, aided by instructional programs . Conversely, across Saudi Arabian universities, personality traits significantly influenced AI attitudes, revealing opennness correlated with positivity regardless of educational level . Such differences suggest educational and cultural contexts shape how students perceive AI. Future initiatives should consider these nuances to optimize AI learning experiences globally.

Studies recommend arranging frequent workshops and training sessions to enhance AI knowledge among nursing students. This builds familiarity, reduces anxiety, and increases favorable attitudes toward AI. For example, the study by Samira Ahmed Alsenany suggests educational programs to increase AI technology understanding, while the comparative meta-analysis indicates a need for curriculum integration to address knowledge gaps .

The need for ethical education in AI is highlighted by studies noting students' favorable attitudes towards AI and the necessity for ethical frameworks. Cooper and Polit & Hungler emphasize understanding AI's ethical implications, aligning with the meta-analysis observations on students' readiness for AI but lacking ethical education. This gap necessitates incorporating ethics education to ensure responsible AI usage .

Anxiety negatively influences behavioral intentions towards AI usage among nursing students. The study by Jung-Won Ahn and Yeunhee Kwak noted lower anxiety scores among higher-year students who also had higher self-efficacy and positive attitudes toward AI, resulting in more favorable behavioral intentions. This suggests that reducing anxiety through education can lead to improved acceptance and utilization of AI technology .

In Mona M. Abd EI-Maksoud's study, 68.2% of nursing students had adequate knowledge about AI. The primary sources of their knowledge were self-taught methods, accounting for 38.6%, while 36.6% of students reported no knowledge about AI initially, pointing to a gap in structured educational initiatives .

High levels of self-efficacy and a favorable attitude toward AI positively influence nursing students' behavioral intentions. A study by Jung-Won Ahn and Yeunhee Kwak in Gyeonggi-do found that third and fourth-year nursing students had higher scores for self-efficacy and a positive attitude toward AI, leading to enhanced behavioral intentions, with an adjusted R2 of 0.42 .

Personality traits significantly impact nursing students' attitudes toward AI. The study found that students scoring high in openness tend to have positive attitudes, whereas those scoring high in neuroticism and agreeableness showed less positive and more negative attitudes toward AI. Conscientious students often had negative attitudes. These findings suggest that personality influences how AI is perceived and accepted, which is crucial for integrating AI in nursing education effectively .

Gender slightly affects attitudes towards AI, with male students scoring slightly higher than females on subscales like 'Benefits of AI in nursing' and 'Willingness to use AI.' However, both genders scored lower on 'Practical advantages of AI,' indicating that despite overall positive and willing attitudes, practical applications are seen less favorably regardless of gender .

The study conducted by Samira Ahmed Alsenany and colleagues found a significant correlation between nursing students' demographic characteristics and their attitudes toward AI usage. Factors included familiarity with AI, self-assessed technological competence, living location, and educational attainment. 79.6% of the participants were familiar with AI, and 64% were favorable toward using AI, suggesting that demographic factors significantly influence attitudes .

Both studies show positive correlations between AI familiarity and its usage. At King Khalid University, 68.2% of students reported having adequate knowledge, primarily self-taught, resulting in positive attitudes. In Ghana, 50% of medical students were somewhat aware of AI, and a significant portion used AI-assisted technologies like Grammarly and ChatGPT despite limited training opportunities, indicating familiarity drives engagement .
