Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming nursing, with generative AI (GenAI) tools such as ChatGPT offering opportunities to enhance education through personalized learning pathways. This study aimed to explore nursing students' use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and their perceptions of its use in nursing education, including its advantages, disadvantages, and perceived support needs. This study employed an online survey. The participants were 99 undergraduate nursing students in New York City. Data was collected online through self-report measures using semi-structured, open-ended questions. The data was analyzed using content analysis. Most participants (92%) used GenAI tools to access accurate information, clarify nursing concepts, and support clinical tasks such as diagnoses and health assessments, as well as schoolwork, grammar checks, and health promotion. They valued GenAI as a quick, accessible resource that simplified complex information and supported learning through definitions, practice questions, and writing improvements. However, the participants noted drawbacks, such as subscription costs, over-reliance, information overload, and accuracy issues, leading to trust concerns. The participants suggested financial support, early guidance, and instructional modules to better integrate AI into nursing education. The results indicate that GenAI positively impacts nursing education and highlight the need for guidelines on critical evaluation. To integrate GenAI effectively, educators should consider introductory sessions, support programs, and a GenAI-friendly environment, promoting responsible AI use and preparing students for its application in nursing education.
人工智能（AI）正在改变护理行业，像ChatGPT这样的生成式人工智能（GenAI）工具为通过个性化学习路径加强教育提供了机会。本研究旨在探讨护理专业学生对生成式人工智能（GenAI）的使用情况，以及他们对其在护理教育中使用的看法，包括其优点、缺点和感知到的支持需求。本研究采用了在线调查。参与者是纽约市的99名本科护理专业学生。通过使用半结构化、开放式问题的自我报告措施在线收集数据。使用内容分析法对数据进行分析。大多数参与者（92%）使用GenAI工具获取准确信息、澄清护理概念，并支持诊断和健康评估等临床任务，以及学业、语法检查和健康促进。他们重视GenAI，认为它是一种快速、便捷的资源，能够简化复杂信息，并通过定义、练习题和写作改进来支持学习。然而，参与者也指出了一些缺点，如订阅成本、过度依赖、信息过载和准确性问题，这些问题引发了信任担忧。参与者建议提供资金支持、早期指导和教学模块，以便更好地将人工智能整合到护理教育中。结果表明，GenAI对护理教育有积极影响，并强调了关键评估指南的必要性。为了有效整合GenAI，教育工作者应考虑开设入门课程、支持项目和营造一个对GenAI友好的环境，促进负责任地使用人工智能，并让学生为其在护理教育中的应用做好准备。
