The Effect of AI Education on Nursing Student AI Literacy and Anxiety
Background:
The growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in health care raises concern, as nursing students are not adequately educated on its use in practice. This study evaluated the effect of an AI education module on undergraduate nursing students' AI literacy and anxiety.
Method:
Students completed surveys measuring AI literacy and anxiety before and after the module, which included videos, articles, a presentation, and an assignment using ChatGPT.
Results:
Paired-samples t test showed a significant increase in AI literacy from pretest (M = 4.90 [SD = .95]) to posttest (M = 5.72 [SD = .92]), t(111) = -9.49, p < .001 and a significant decrease in AI anxiety from pre-test (M = 4.45 [SD = 1.27]) to posttest (M = 3.58 [SD = 1.32]), t(111) = 7.76, p < .001.
Conclusion:
The AI education module is an effective teaching tool to increase nursing students' AI literacy and decrease anxiety.
