View abstract on PubMed
Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Artificial intelligence (AI) use significantly enhances clinical performance in nursing students, acting as an independent predictor. Integrating AI literacy into nursing curricula is crucial for improving evidence-based practice and patient care.
Area Of Science
- Nursing Education
- Health Informatics
- Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
Background
- The role of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare education is expanding.
- Its specific impact on nursing students' clinical performance, especially in resource-limited settings, requires further investigation.
Purpose Of The Study
- To examine the association between AI utilization and clinical performance in undergraduate nursing students.
- To control for demographic factors in this relationship.
Main Methods
- A cross-sectional study involving 134 nursing students from Abadan University of Medical Sciences.
- Data collected via the Artificial Intelligence in Nursing Questionnaire and Clinical Performance Questionnaire (CPQ).
- Statistical analysis included correlation, multiple linear regression, and univariate general linear modeling (GLM).
Main Results
- AI use showed a significant positive correlation with overall clinical performance (r = 0.424, p < 0.001).
- AI use was the sole significant predictor in the regression model, explaining 21.1% of performance variance (R² = 0.211).
- AI use independently predicted performance across all clinical subscales, notably in Research, Patient-Centered Care, and Personal Management.
Conclusions
- AI use is a strong, independent predictor of nursing students' clinical performance.
- Findings support the integration of AI literacy into nursing curricula to foster evidence-based practice and critical thinking.
- AI holds transformative potential for clinical nursing education.

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

With an increase in the aging population worldwide, it is crucial to train nurses from all healthcare settings to identify approaches that enable older adults to live independently. Nurses also provide essential care and education to manage multiple chronic conditions and ensure the elderly in long-term care receive optimal care and...
Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
Efficient Information Management: NCIS is designed to manage patient information efficiently, making it easily accessible to...
Critical thinking helps decision-making and allows nurses to recognize barriers to success and find solutions to possible issues. It helps to brainstorm and implement ideas to achieve goals. Critical thinking helps acknowledge and state workflow inefficiencies while improving management techniques. Nurses understand the value of critical thinking and look for fellow nurses with critical thinking skills to upgrade their professional standards. Critical thinking can advance a nurse's career...
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
The first step is reassessing the client, a continuous process every time a nurse interacts with a patient, obtains new data,...
