Background:
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) Literacy hold significant implications for pre-professional nursing students' academic and professional development, potentially influencing their workforce readiness. However, existing studies have overlooked the inter-individual heterogeneity among pre-professional nursing students, and few have explored the correlation between their GenAI Literacy and workforce readiness.
Purpose:
This study aims to identify the latent profiles and influencing factors of their GenAI literacy, and to compare the differences in workforce readiness across these latent profiles.
Methods:
A cross-sectional design was employed. From November 2025 to February 2026, 750 pre-professional nursing students from different geographical regions in China were recruited. Participants completed the College Students' GenAI Literacy Scale and the Nursing Practice Readiness Scale. Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) was used to identify the profiles of GenAI Literacy among pre-professional nursing students. Two-category logistic regression was conducted to evaluate the predictors of different profiles. One-way ANOVA and rank-sum test were used to compare the workforce readiness across these profiles.
Results:
Three latent profiles of GenAI literacy were identified: Low GenAI literacy group (n = 201, 28.2%), Moderate GenAI literacy group (n = 399, 56.0%) and the High GenAI literacy group (n = 112, 15.8%). Multinomial logistic regression showed that academic performance, receipt of GenAI-related training, understanding of basic GenAI algorithms, GenAI tool usage frequency, and the use of GenAI software in clinical practice/learning were predictive factors of the latent profiles of GenAI literacy. Significant differences were found in the workforce readiness (p < 0.05).
Conclusion:
Pre-professional nursing students' GenAI literacy can be classified into three latent profiles. Enhancing GenAI literacy may improve their overall workforce readiness.
