The objective of this study is to evaluate the anxiety levels of nurses regarding artificial intelligence and its impact on their perception of job security.

The nursing profession, which is affected by artificial intelligence, has concerns about this transformation.

This study employed a cross-sectional and descriptive.

The was conducted with 104 nurses working in a hospital between December 2024 and March 2025. Data was collected using the Descriptive Information Form, Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale and Job Security Perception Scale.

The nurses participating in this study exhibited moderate anxiety towards artificial intelligence according to the scores they received from the Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale. The relationship between nurses' artificial intelligence anxiety and the perception of job security was not statistically significant (p ≥ 0.165). Nurses with ≥10 years' experience had higher AIA scores than those with less experience, but this difference was not significant (p = 0.056). It was stated that 80.8 % (n:84) of the nurses did not use ChatGPT or any other application supported by artificial intelligence in their professional life. The Job Security Perception Scale scores were no different between those who saw artificial intelligence as a threat and those who did not (p = 0.870).

It was observed that nurses were inadequate in using artificial intelligence technologies and experienced moderate anxiety, but there was no significant relationship between this anxiety and their perceptions of job security.
