Abstract

Objective: This research was conducted to determine the relationship between nurses' evaluation of health technologies and their attitudes towards artificial intelligence. Method: The data of the study was collected between December 15, 2023 and February 15, 2024. The population of this research consisted of 404 nurses working in a public hospital. Introductory information form, healthcare personnel health technologies evaluation attitude scale, general attitude scale towards artificial intelligence, academic literacy scale were used to collect data. Results: 66.6% of the nurses participating in the study were between the ages of 18-30, 60.9% were women, 58.9% were single, 70.3% had a bachelor's degree, 53.2% were in the 4-6 years of their working years. It was found that 57.7% worked in shifts and 40.6% worked in other services. The mean score of the Health Technologies Evaluation Attitude Scale of the nurses included in the research was found to be 4.10±.552, and the mean score of the General Attitude Scale Towards Artificial Intelligence was 3.30±.539. A positive, moderately significant relationship was found between the Nurses' Health Technologies Evaluation Attitude Scale Scores and the General Attitude Scale Towards Artificial Intelligence score averages (p<0.001). Conclusion: It was determined that there was a significant relationship between nurses' attitudes towards evaluating health technologies and their attitudes towards artificial intelligence.
