Abstract
Background. The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence technologies and their implementation in medical practice create new opportunities for enhancing the quality of patient care. In the context of growing healthcare service demands and a shortage of qualified personnel, artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in optimizing nursing processes, improving diagnostic accuracy and forecasting, as well as increasing the efficiency of healthcare staff. Research objective. To examine nurses’ perceptions of artificial intelligence technologies and their readiness to integrate artificial intelligence into nursing practice in order to enhance the efficiency of patient care and optimize work processes. Materials and methods. An analysis of publications on the research topic was conducted using sources such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Scopus. The results of a literature review are presented, focused on studying the use and understanding of artificial intelligence among nurses. Research results. A literature review has demonstrated that artificial intelligence holds significant potential to transform healthcare by enhancing diagnostic accuracy, personalizing treatment, improving administrative efficiency, and optimizing healthcare staff coordination. Artificial intelligence contributes to the automation of routine tasks, supports clinical decisionmaking, predicts outcomes, improves patient monitoring, and reduces workload and burnout risk among nurses. However, the implementation of artificial intelligence in medical practice requires enhanced education and training for healthcare personnel to overcome acceptance barriers, address ethical considerations, and ensure data security. Conclusion. Artificial intelligence has a significant impact on healthcare by improving the quality of care and optimizing workflows. Nurses play a crucial role in its integration, which requires enhancing their knowledge and training. Studies indicate the need for developing educational programs to improve nurses’ competencies in using artificial intelligence, ensuring more effective and safer implementation of technologies into practice.
