Artificial intelligence (AI) offers opportunities and challenges in health care education. Integrating AI into advanced practice nursing programs, using the TPACK framework, prepares future nurses for technology-rich environments while addressing ethical concerns and clinical reasoning.
Area of Science:
- Health Care Education
- Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
- Nursing Informatics
Background:
- Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly integrated into healthcare, presenting new opportunities and challenges for education.
- Concerns exist regarding academic integrity, AI-generated misinformation (hallucinations), and practical issues like cost, privacy, and bias.
Purpose of the Study:
- To discuss the integration of AI into advanced practice nursing education.
- To guide educators in designing AI-enhanced assignments using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework.
- To prepare future advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) for technology-driven healthcare settings.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework to guide AI integration.
- Detailed the evolution of an AI-based assignment for advanced practice nursing students.
- Emphasized ethical considerations, interdisciplinary collaboration, and clinical reasoning skill development.
Main Results:
- AI integration in nursing education can enhance learning and decision-making.
- Assignments designed with the TPACK framework promote critical thinking and real-world preparedness.
- Addressing ethical and practical challenges is crucial for successful AI implementation.
Conclusions:
- Integrating AI into advanced practice nursing education is essential for preparing APRNs for modern healthcare demands.
- This approach supports essential competencies and aligns with current nursing education standards.
- Equipping APRNs with AI-related skills fosters continuous learning and adaptation in healthcare.
