Özet

Artificial intelligence (AI) experience among nurses in perioperative settings is crucial for effective healthcare delivery. This study aimed to assess AI literacy levels and associated characteristics among perioperative nurses in T & uuml;rkiye. This cross-sectional study was conducted between March 15 and April 15, 2024, and included 505 perioperative nurses. Data were collected online using the "Nurse Information Form" and "AI Literacy Scale." Snowball sampling technique was used to enlist individuals. The mean literacy score was 44.35 +/- 5.88, which means moderate proficiency. Key elements associated with high literacy levels included being male, familiarity with and use of AI applications, youth, seeing AI as a tool to alleviate workload, and using information technology tools. The results show that although perioperative nurses have a moderate level of AI literacy, their use of AI tools is minimal. The findings underline the need for professional development in AI integration and the inclusion of relevant materials in nursing education programs.
