The Relationship Between Nursing Students' Attitudes Toward Artificial Intelligence and Their Creative Personality Traits

Abstract

Aim: The relationship between nursing students' attitudes toward artificial intelligence and their creative personality traits was examined in this study. Design: This study, conducted with 492 nursing students enrolled at a university in Turkey, was designed using a descriptive and relational methodology. The data were gathered through the "Personal Information Form," the "General Attitude Scale toward Artificial Intelligence," and the "Creative Personality Traits Scale." Methods: The data for the research were gathered from surveys conducted between January 2024 and May 2024. Findings: The average score for students' attitudes toward artificial intelligence was 74.52 +/- 10.29, while the score for creative personality traits was 67.20 +/- 10.34. Correlation analysis results indicate a strong relationship between these two factors (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Nursing students' attitudes toward artificial intelligence and creative personality traits are above average. Implications for nursing and health policy: The development of creativity is crucial for effectively integrating artificial intelligence technologies into nursing practice. Additionally, this research highlights the need for policy development regarding regulations and ethical practices related to using artificial intelligence in healthcare services.
