Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly important in healthcare, with a significant impact on nursing practice. As future healthcare practitioners, nursing students must be prepared to incorporate AI technologies into their job. This study aimed to explore the associated factors with nursing students' intention to use AI.
Descriptive cross-sectional multi-centre design was used. A convenience sample of 1713 university nursing students from Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Palestine, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates completed a self-reported online instrument divided into five sections covering: (1) demographic sheet, (2) knowledge, (3) attitude, (4) perception and (5) intention questionnaire.
Most nursing students in Arab countries have moderate levels of knowledge, attitude, perception and intention towards the use of AI. There was a significant positive association between knowledge, attitude, perception and intention towards the use of AI. A multivariate regression analysis revealed that understanding of AI technologies, self-perception as tech-savvy, age, clinical performance in previous semesters and knowledge of AI were significant and positively correlated with intention.
The findings highlight the importance of targeted educational interventions and customised strategies to support AI integration within nursing education settings across Arab countries, equipping future nurses with the necessary skills and knowledge to use AI effectively in their practice.
人工智能（AI）在医疗保健领域正变得越来越重要，对护理实践产生重大影响。作为未来的医疗保健从业者，护理专业学生必须做好准备，将人工智能技术融入他们的工作中。本研究旨在探讨与护理专业学生使用人工智能意愿相关的因素。
采用描述性横断面多中心设计。来自巴林、埃及、伊拉克、约旦、科威特、黎巴嫩、阿曼、巴勒斯坦、沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯联合酋长国的1713名大学护理专业学生组成的便利样本，完成了一份自我报告的在线问卷，问卷分为五个部分，涵盖：（1）人口统计学表格，（2）知识，（3）态度，（4）认知和（5）意愿问卷。
阿拉伯国家的大多数护理专业学生对人工智能的使用在知识、态度、认知和意愿方面处于中等水平。对人工智能的使用在知识、态度、认知和意愿之间存在显著的正相关。多变量回归分析显示，对人工智能技术的理解、自我认知为精通技术、年龄、前几个学期的临床成绩以及人工智能知识与意愿显著正相关。
研究结果强调了针对性教育干预和定制策略对于支持阿拉伯国家护理教育环境中人工智能整合的重要性，使未来的护士具备在实践中有效使用人工智能的必要技能和知识。
