Abstract

This study examines how Artificial Intelligence (AI) affects nursing practices. It addresses its applications in the health sector. The research review shows that AI is becoming increasingly important in nursing for purposes such as early diagnosis, patient monitoring, optimizing hospital processes, and clinical decision-making. In addition to clear benefits such as improving the effectiveness and accuracy of healthcare, the study also emphasizes ethical issues related to human oversight and data protection. The research addresses the problems of AI in nursing, such as the need for adequate training and adaptation to clinical contexts. Thus, this article provides a comprehensive overview of the advances and challenges of AI in nursing, highlighting its transformative potential in the field of healthcare.
