Assess The Knowledge, Attitude And Perception Towards Utilization Of Artificial Intelligence Among Student Nurses

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and perception towards the utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) among student nurses in selected nursing colleges of Bathinda, Punjab. A quantitative cross-sectional descriptive design was adopted, and 130 student nurses were selected through a non-probability convenient sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured, self-administered questionnaire assessing demographic variables, knowledge, attitude, and perception, and were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings revealed that most participants had a moderate level of knowledge (43.1%), while a considerable proportion demonstrated a positive attitude (48.5%) and good perception (64.6%) towards AI. Significant associations were observed between knowledge and AI training, as well as between attitude and familiarity with AI. The study concludes that although student nurses show positive acceptance and perception towards AI, there is a need to enhance their knowledge through curriculum integration and structured training programs to ensure effective utilization of AI in nursing practice.
