Students' Perceptions of the Integration of Artificial Intelligence Nursing Education: A Study at a Private Chilean University
Palabras clave:

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education has gained significant attention, particularly in health-related fields. This study explores the perceptions of AI use among nursing students at a private Chilean university. The research aimed to assess students' attitudes and experiences with AI in their learning process. A sample of 36 nursing students participated, and data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire measuring various dimensions of AI integration. Results indicated moderate perceptions of AI use, with an average score of M = 3.15. While students recognized the potential of AI to enhance learning efficiency and access to information, concerns were raised regarding the limited practical implementation and insufficient training opportunities. The findings suggest that to fully leverage AI in nursing education, improvements such as targeted training programs and expanded technological resources are essential. Future efforts should focus on fostering AI literacy to better prepare nursing students for technologically advanced healthcare environments.
