While there are studies on this topic, there may be a relative scarcity of research focusing on specific regions, such as Jordan. So, this study aims to gather insights from healthcare providers in Jordan concerning the advantages of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into practices, their perspectives on AI applications in healthcare, and their views on the future role of AI in replacing key tasks within health services.
An online questionnaire was used to collect data on demographics, attitudes towards using AI for tasks and opinions on the benefits of AI adoption among healthcare professionals. For healthcare professionals with restricted internet access or older people, soft copies of the questionnaire were provided to them, and then their responses were collected. A one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the associations between the determinants and the outcomes. Any test with a p value ≤0.05 was considered significant.
A total of 612 healthcare professionals participated in the survey, with females comprising a majority of respondents (52.8%). The majority of respondents showed optimism about AI's potential to improve and revolutionise the field, although there were concerns about AI replacing human roles. Generally, physical therapists, medical researchers and pharmacists displayed openness to incorporating AI into their work routines. Younger individuals aged <40 seemed accepting of AI in the domain. A significant portion of participants believed that AI could negatively impact job opportunities.
To conclude, the results of this study suggest that healthcare professionals, in Jordan, hold receptive views on incorporating AI in the medical field, similar to their counterparts in developed nations. However, there is a concern about the implications of AI on job stability and potential replacements.
虽然有关于这个主题的研究，但可能相对缺乏针对特定地区（如约旦）的研究。因此，本研究旨在收集约旦医疗服务提供者对于将人工智能（AI）整合到实践中的优势、他们对AI在医疗保健领域应用的看法以及他们对AI在未来取代医疗服务中关键任务的作用的见解。
使用在线问卷收集关于医疗保健专业人员的人口统计学数据、对使用AI执行任务的态度以及对采用AI的益处的看法。对于互联网接入受限的医疗保健专业人员或老年人，向他们提供问卷的软拷贝，然后收集他们的回复。使用单因素方差分析（ANOVA）来确定决定因素与结果之间的关联。任何p值≤0.05的测试都被认为具有显著性。
共有612名医疗保健专业人员参与了调查，女性占多数（52.8%）。大多数受访者对AI改善和变革该领域的潜力持乐观态度，尽管有人担心AI会取代人类角色。总体而言，物理治疗师、医学研究人员和药剂师对将AI纳入其工作流程持开放态度。年龄小于40岁的年轻人似乎接受该领域的AI。很大一部分参与者认为AI可能对就业机会产生负面影响。
总之，本研究结果表明，约旦的医疗保健专业人员对在医疗领域采用AI持接受态度，这与发达国家的同行类似。然而，人们担心AI对工作稳定性和潜在替代的影响。
