Looking into the Future of ChatGPT and Its Cultural Consideration from Filipino Nurse Scientists’ Perspectives: A Narrative-Focused Group Discussion

While artificial intelligence (AI) holds immense potential for health care, the future of AI-powered chatbots such as ChatGPT in research remains uncharted. Through narrative-focused group discussion, this study explored Filipino nurse scientists' perspectives on ChatGPT's role in research. Ten experienced ChatGPT users participated in semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis revealed three themes: (a) cultural awareness when using ChatGPT-emphasizing sensitivity to local practices, respect for elders, illness perceptions, and family involvement; (b) ChatGPT-specific needs of Filipino nurse scientists-highlighting data and language accessibility, cultural integration, and public health applications; and (c) shifting skillsets and resources for effective AI use in nursing research-underlining the need for technical expertise, ethical considerations, and resource development. This study emphasizes ChatGPT's potential to enhance patient services and well-being while stressing the importance of cultural sensitivity and ethics in AI development. These findings can guide health-care professionals and developers to optimize AI use, ensuring patient security, confidentiality, and inclusivity.
