Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming various sectors, including healthcare and education. In nursing, AI has the potential to enhance educational outcomes and improve clinical practices. The study aim to explore the nuanced experiences and perceptions of nursing students at Bayero University, Kano, in relation to the use of AI in their academic and clinical environments. A qualitative narrative inquiry was conducted among nursing students at Bayero University, Kano. Focus group discussion was used to collect data from the participants. Thematic analysis was employed to identify and interpret themes related to their experiences and perceptions of AI. The study identified that the majority of students have engaged with AI technologies primarily for academic purposes, such as researching assignments and accessing clinical information. However, they demonstrated limited awareness of nursing-specific AI tools. Participants also reported significant challenges related to network connectivity and data access, which hindered their use of AI. Despite these challenges, the overall perception of AI was positive, with students acknowledging its potential to improve nursing education and practice. Concerns about technical errors, over-reliance, and job displacement were also noted. Nursing students at Bayero University, Kano, recognize the potential benefits of AI in education and clinical practice but face significant challenges due to infrastructural limitations. Their positive perception of AI suggests an openness to its integration into nursing, provided that technological and educational barriers are addressed. The findings highlight the need for improved technological infrastructure, targeted training on AI applications in nursing, and a balanced approach to integrating AI with human expertise.Keywords: Artificial intelligence, Nursing education, Perceptions, Experiences, Qualitative, Nigeria
