Artificial Intelligence in Perioperative Nursing

May 15, 2026 updated by: Mohamed Fakhry Ahmed Salem, Alexandria University

Artificial Intelligence in Perioperative Nursing: A Mixed-Methods Study on Current Perspectives and Future Directions Among Surgical Ward and Operating Room Nurses.

This mixed-methods study aims to assess current perspectives, attitudes, and preparedness of perioperative nurses regarding the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in clinical practice. The study targets nurses working in surgical wards and operating rooms to explore AI utilization, perceived usability, professional impact, and readiness for future implementation. Quantitative and qualitative data will be collected concurrently and integrated to generate comprehensive insights into AI adoption and future directions in perioperative nursing.
