THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CONCERNS AND PERCEIVED SPIRITUAL CARE IN INTERNAL MEDICINE NURSES

Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to determine the relationship between artificial intelligence concerns and perceived spiritual care in internal medicine nurses. Methods: This descriptive correlational study was conducted between October 13, 2021 and March 12, 2022. The sample of the study consisted of 477 internal medicine nurses. The data were collected using a ‘Nurse Information Form’, ‘Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale’ and ‘Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale’, and analyzed using independent-samples t test, One-Way ANOVA, Bonferroni test, Pearson’s correlation test and linear regression analysis. Results: The majority of the nurses were 26-32 years old (33.3%), female (63.1%), married (54.9%) and had bachelor’s degree (58.7%) and professional experience of 6-10 years (35.6%). Their Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale and Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale total mean scores were 95.35±4.02 and 63.50±3.14, respectively. A highly significant negative correlation was found between their AIAS and Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale total mean scores (r =-0.785, p = 0.041). Their artificial intelligence concerns negatively affected their perceived spiritual care (F= 36.140, p<0.05, R = .840). Conclusion: Internal medicine nurses had moderate Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale mean score and high Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale mean score. As their Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale mean score increased, their Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale mean score decreased.

Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to determine the relationship between artificial intelligence concerns and perceived
spiritual care in internal medicine nurses.
Methods: This descriptive correlational study was conducted between October 13, 2021 and March 12, 2022.
The sample of the study consisted of 477 internal medicine nurses. The data were collected using a ‘Nurse
Information Form’, ‘Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale’ and ‘Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale’.
Data were analyzed by independent-samples t test, One-Way ANOVA, Bonferroni test, Pearson’s correlation
test and linear regression analysis.
Results: The majority of the nurses were 26-32 age group (33.3%), female (63.1%), married (54.9%), had
bachelor’s degree (58.7%) and professional experience of 6-10 years (35.6%). Their Artificial Intelligence
Anxiety Scale and Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale total mean scores were 95.35±4.02 and
63.50±3.14, respectively. A highly significant negative correlation was found between their AIAS and
Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale total mean scores (r =-0.785, p = 0.041). Their artificial
intelligence concerns negatively affected their perceived spiritual care (F= 36.140, p<0.05, R = .840).
Conclusion: Internal medicine nurses had moderate Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale mean score and
high Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale mean score. As their Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale
mean score increased, their Spirituality and Spiritual Care Rating Scale mean score decreased.
