Artificial intelligence in nursing: an integrative review of clinical and operational impacts

This review demonstrates that AI integration holds transformative potential for nursing practice by enhancing both clinical outcomes and operational efficiency. However, to realize these benefits fully, it is imperative to develop robust ethical frameworks, incorporate comprehensive AI literacy training into nursing education, and foster interdisciplinary collaboration. Future longitudinal studies across varied clinical contexts are essential to validate these findings and support the sustainable, equitable implementation of AI technologies in nursing. Policymakers and healthcare leaders must prioritize investments in AI solutions that complement the expertise of nursing professionals while addressing ethical risks.
