Use of Artificial Intelligence in Nursing Care: A Content Analysis Perspective

Abstract

Objective: There is a need to examine studies on the use of artificial intelligence in nursing care and to identify the characteristics of research in this field. This study was designed to identify and analyze the existing literature on the use of artificial intelligence in nursing care and to examine the key characteristics of these studies. Material and Methods: The data were obtained from the Web of Science database on January, 2025, using the keywords “artificial intelligence” and “nursing care.” A total of 33 publications were included in the study. The studies were thematically classified as part of the content analysis, and main themes and sub-themes were determined. Results: The content analysis identified four main themes: decision support and clinical practice, ethical and safety issues, workflow, and time management. Sub-themes included care plans, patient monitoring, decision-making processes, data privacy and confidentiality, preserving human-centered care, reliability and accuracy issues, automation of routine tasks, and efficiency and process optimization. Conclusion: Artificial intelligence is a significant and transformative tool in nursing care. The safe and effective integration of this technology depends on establishing ethical frameworks, sustaining a human-centered approach, and preventing technological dependency.
