Abstract

This descriptive study assessed knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to artificial intelligence (AI) among General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) students at KMCT School of Nursing. Using a non-probability convenience sampling method, 100 GNM students completed a baseline proforma with demographic data, a close-ended self-administered questionnaire for knowledge, and Likert scales for attitudes and practices. Data analysis employed descriptive and inferential statistics. Results indicated that most students (majority) possessed adequate knowledge of AI, exhibited moderate attitudes toward it, and demonstrated moderate AI practices. Significant associations existed between knowledge levels and selected demographic variables, including academic year and monthly family income.
