The study aims to explore nurses’ views on the effects of artificial intelligence (AI) in nursing, focusing on their understanding, practical applications, ethical considerations, and perceived opportunities and threats. This qualitative study used semi $$\:-$$ structured interviews to gain comprehensive insights from clinical nurses, adhering to the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research for methodological rigor. After obtaining ethical approval, researchers conducted semi $$\:-$$ structured interviews with 25 clinical nurses. The interviews explored nurses’ perceptions of AI, including its basic concepts, applications in nursing practice, ethical and social implications, and potential benefits and drawbacks. The analysis identified four overarching themes: (1) Nurses’ Conceptualizations of Artificial Intelligence, (2) Opportunities of AI in Nursing Practice, (3) Threats of AI in Nursing Practice, and (4) Ethical and Psychological Concerns in AI-Based Nursing Practice. The findings revealed that nurses had a foundational understanding of AI and its definitions. They acknowledged both the positive and negative impacts of AI technologies on their practice. Nurses expressed that AI could reduce workload, enhance patient care, and improve efficiency. However, they also articulated significant threats, including concerns over professional redundancy, emotional disconnection in caregiving, de-skilling, and the risk of dehumanizing the healthcare environment. Additionally, ethical and psychological concerns emerged, such as ambiguity in accountability, threats to data security and patient safety, unsuitability in psychiatric care contexts, staff surveillance anxiety, and risks of misuse or systemic bias. The study concluded that while nurses possess a basic understanding of AI, the effective and ethical integration of AI technologies in nursing requires targeted training, institutional preparedness, and robust interdisciplinary collaboration. To ensure AI complements rather than compromises nursing values, it is imperative to equip nurses with skills in digital literacy, ethical reasoning, and critical engagement with AI tools. The findings highlight the necessity of structured education programs and policy development that address both the technological and humanistic dimensions of AI use in healthcare. Future research should actively incorporate patient and public voices to ensure that AI-driven transformations in care remain aligned with the principles of patient-centeredness and human dignity. #Artificial Intelligence in Nursing Practice: A Qualitative Study of Nurses’ Perspectives on Opportunities, Challenges, and #Ethical Implications.

Purpose It was aimed to evaluate depression, anxiety, stress symptoms of health professionals during the COVID‐19 pandemic and to reveal the risk factors. Design and Methods Four hundred and sixteen professionals participated in this study. Data were collected online by Depression–Anxiety–Stress Scale. Findings A statistically significant, positive relationship was determined between professionals' perceptions of COVID‐19 risk and scale scores. Practice Implications The professionals involved in the struggle against the COVID‐19 have high levels of depression, anxiety, stress. It is recommended to revise the content to enable individuals to increase skills in coping with similar situations and to take measures to protect their health.

Background: Severe damage was experienced in 10 provinces in Turkey, and the north of Syria, with the earthquakes that hit Kahramanmaraş at midnight and afternoon on February 6, 2023.Aim: The authors aimed to give brief information to the international nursing community about the situation related to earthquakes in the aspects of nurses.Conclusion: These earthquakes caused traumatic processes in the affected regions. Many people, including nurses and other healthcare professionals, died or were injured. The results demonstrated that the required preparedness had not been applied. Nurses went to these areas voluntarily or on assignment and cared for individuals with injured. The universities in the country passed to distance education because of the shortage of safe places for victims. This situation also negatively influenced nursing education and clinical practice by interrupting in‐person education one more time after the COVID‐19 pandemic.Implications for nursing and nursing policy: Since the outcomes show a need for well‐organized health and nursing care, policymakers may consider getting nurses' contributions to the disaster preparedness and management policy‐making processes.
