Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare, offering potential benefits and challenges. In healthcare, AI enhances efficiency, streamlines processes, and supports decision-making. However, challenges include potential errors and biases in algorithms, data privacy concerns, legal and ethical issues, and resistance to change. In nursing, a delicate balance emerges between AI and human touch. While AI aids in data-driven decision-making and administrative tasks, it lacks the emotional intelligence, empathy, and nuanced understanding crucial to nursing care. Nurses excel in critical thinking, adaptability to dynamic situations, patient advocacy, collaboration, and establishing human connections. AI supports these functions by automating routine tasks and offering decision support tools, yet its rigidity in dynamic situations and lack of human touch pose limitations. This review underscores the necessity of careful AI integration in healthcare, acknowledging its advantages while mitigating drawbacks. In nursing, the symbiosis between AI and human qualities is vital. The role of AI should be to complement, not replace, the unique skills and empathetic aspects of nursing care. Addressing concerns related to bias, transparency, data privacy, and professional training is essential for maximizing the benefits of AI in healthcare while preserving the human touch in patient care. This article explores whether AI can replace unique nursing roles.
人工智能（AI）正在改变医疗保健领域，带来潜在的益处和挑战。在医疗保健中，人工智能提高了效率，简化了流程，并支持决策制定。然而，挑战包括算法中潜在的错误和偏差、数据隐私问题、法律和伦理问题以及对变革的抵制。在护理领域，人工智能与人文关怀之间出现了一种微妙的平衡。虽然人工智能有助于基于数据的决策制定和行政任务，但它缺乏对护理至关重要的情商、同理心和细致入微的理解。护士在批判性思维、适应动态情况、患者权益倡导、协作以及建立人际关系方面表现出色。人工智能通过自动化日常任务和提供决策支持工具来支持这些功能，但其在动态情况下的僵化性和缺乏人文关怀构成了限制。本综述强调了在医疗保健中谨慎整合人工智能的必要性，既要认识到其优势，又要减轻其缺点。在护理领域，人工智能与人类特质之间的共生关系至关重要。人工智能的作用应该是补充，而不是取代护理的独特技能和同理心方面。解决与偏差、透明度、数据隐私和专业培训相关的问题对于在医疗保健中最大限度地发挥人工智能的益处同时在患者护理中保留人文关怀至关重要。本文探讨了人工智能是否能够取代独特的护理角色。
