Evaluation of Artificial Intelligence Anxiety of Midwifery Students

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the anxiety levels of midwifery students about the use of artificial intelligence in the field of health, which is increasing rapidly in every institution, and to determine its relationship with socio-demographic variables. It is a cross-sectional and descriptive study. The population of the study consisted of 362 midwifery students studying at a state university, and the sample consisted of 281 students. Data was collected from Microsoft Office 365 Forms via an online survey link. According to the research findings, midwifery students have moderate anxiety about the use of artificial intelligence. A significant difference was found between the artificial intelligence anxiety scores of the students according to their parental education, parental occupation and income level. Most of the students stated that they do not use artificial intelligence, they do not know artificial intelligence applications in the field of health, and most of them want to use artificial intelligence applications in their professional life and education process and they find artificial intelligence reliable. It is recommended that artificial intelligence be integrated into the midwifery education curriculum and more comprehensive studies should be conducted to understand student midwives' concerns about artificial intelligence.

Ebelik Öğrencilerin Yapay Zekâ Kaygı Durumlarının Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, her kurumda hızla artış gösteren yapay zekânın sağlık alanında kullanılması ile ilgili ebelik öğrencilerin kaygı düzeylerinin tespit edilmesi ve sosyo-demografik değişkenlerle ilişkisini belirlemektir. Kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı türde bir çalışmadır. Araştırmanın evrenini bir devlet üniversitesinde eğitimini sürdüren 362 ebelik öğrencisi, örneklemini ise 281 öğrenci oluşturdu. Veriler, Microsoft Office 365 Formlarından çevrimiçi bir anket bağlantısı aracılığıyla toplandı. Araştırma bulgularına göre ebelik öğrencileri yapay zekânın kullanımıyla ilgili orta düzeyde kaygı duymaktadır. Öğrencilerin ebeveyn eğitim, ebeveyn meslek ve gelir düzeyine göre yapay zekâ kaygı puanları arasında anlamlı fark elde edildi. Öğrencilerin çoğu, yapay zekâ kullanmadığını, sağlık alanında yapay zekâ uygulamalarını bilmediğini yanı sıra çoğu meslek hayatında ve eğitim sürecinde yapay zekâ uygulamalarını kullanmak istediğini ve yapay zekâyı güvenilir bulduklarını belirtti. Yapay zekânın ebelik eğitim müfredatına entegre edilmesi ve öğrenci ebelerin yapay zekâ hakkındaki kaygılarını anlamaya yönelik daha kapsamlı çalışmalar yapılması önerilir.
