Application Of Artificial Intelligence In Nursing Care In Health Facilities At Noida, U.P

Abstract

Background of the study: The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in nursing care has emerged as a transformative approach to improving healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. AI technologies, including machine learning, natural language processing, and predictive analytics, assist nurses in clinical decision-making, patient monitoring, and early detection of complications. By automating routine tasks such as documentation, scheduling, and medication management, AI enables nurses to devote more time to direct patient care and holistic support. Furthermore, AI-driven systems enhance accuracy in diagnosis, promote personalized care plans, and strengthen patient safety through continuous monitoring and alerts. Despite ifor immense potential, the application of AI in nursing faces challenges such as ethical concerns, data privacy, cost, and the need for proper training of healthcare professionals. Overall, AI represents a vital tool in advancing nursing practice, improving efficiency, and fostering patient-centered care in modern health facilities.

Objectives: To assess the nurses' knowledge of artificial intelligence in patient care.

Methods: A descriptive research design was adopted for this study. The samples were selected using a purposive sampling technique. The sample consisted of 60 staff nurses. The instruments used for data collection were demographic characteristics and a structured knowledge questionnaire.

Results: The level of knowledge regarding the application of artificial intelligence in nursing care among staff nurses is as follows: pretest level, good knowledge 0.00 percent, average knowledge 19 (32%), and poor knowledge 41 (68%).

The demographic variable, the educational status of staff nurses, had a statistically significant association with the level of knowledge regarding the application of artificial intelligence in nursing care. Age, religion, work experience, source of information, and Training attended on Artificial Intelligence had shown no statistically significant association with the levels of knowledge regarding the application of artificial intelligence in nursing care. P<0.05. Hence, H₂ is accepted.

Conclusion: The integration of Artificial Intelligence in nursing care holds great potential to transform healthcare delivery by improving clinical decision-making, enhancing patient monitoring, reducing workload, and ensuring timely interventions. While AI cannot replace the critical role of nurses, it serves as a powerful tool to support their practice, increase efficiency, and promote patient-centered care. For effective implementation, emphasis must be placed on ethical considerations, continuous training, and collaboration between technology and nursing professionals.
