Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the anxiety levels and thoughts of midwife candidates towards artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The study is cross-sectional and descriptive, and was completed with 228 undergraduate students in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades of the midwifery department of a public university. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using the “Descriptive Information Form and Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale (AIAS)”. 94.7% of the students who participated in the study stated that they had heard of AI, 57% found it reliable, 84.6% stated that courses and applications related to AI should be included in the curricula of educational institutions, 79.8% stated that AI technology would reduce the workload of midwives, and 78.9% stated that they thought of using AI technologies in their professional lives in the future. The mean total score of the students was 77.894±23.09 and it was found that the students who did not have information about the use of AI in medicine and health services, did not find the application reliable and did not want to use AI technologies in their professional lives had significantly higher levels of AI anxiety (p<0.05).

Özet

Bu araştırmanın amacı; ebe adaylarının yapay zekâ (YZ) teknolojisine yönelik kaygı düzeyleri ve düşüncelerinin incelenmesidir. Araştırma kesitsel ve tanımlayıcı tipte olup, bir kamu üniversitesinin ebelik bölümü 2., 3., 4. sınıflarında öğrenim gören 228 lisans öğrencisiyle çalışma tamamlanmıştır. Veriler “Tanımlayıcı Bilgi Formu ve Yapay Zekâ Kaygısı Ölçeği (YZKÖ)” kullanılarak yüz yüze görüşme yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin %94.7’si YZ’yı duyduğunu, %57’si güvenilir bulduğunu, %84.6’sı eğitim veren kurumların müfredatlarında YZ ile ilgili dersler ve uygulamaların yer alması gerektiğini, %79.8’i YZ teknolojisinin ebelerin iş yükünü azaltacağını ve %78.9’u ileride mesleki hayatında YZ teknolojilerini kullanmayı düşündüğünü ifade etmiştir. Öğrencilerin YZKÖ toplan puan ortalamaları 77.894±23.09 olup, YZ’nın tıp ve sağlık hizmetlerinde kullanımı hakkında bilgi sahibi olmayan, uygulamayı güvenilir bulmayan ve meslek yaşamlarında YZ teknolojilerini kullanmak istemeyen öğrencilerin YZ kaygı düzeylerinin istatistiksel olarak anlamlı şekilde daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0.05).
