Abstract


Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being integrated into healthcare to support diagnosis, treatment planning, patient monitoring, documentation, and clinical decision-making. In nursing, AI-assisted clinical decision support has the potential to improve efficiency, patient safety, evidence-based practice, and quality of care. However, concerns related to privacy, ethics, technical limitations, overdependence on technology, and the preservation of professional clinical judgment may influence its acceptance. Understanding the perspectives of both nursing students and practicing nursing officers is important for the responsible integration of AI into nursing education and clinical practice.
