Exploring the application of generative artificial intelligence in nursing: a cross-sectional study

This study establishes that GAI adoption among Chinese nurses is widespread but nuanced, marked by a preference for local platforms and role-specific benefits. The primary barriers to integration-concerns about content accuracy and clinical autonomy-underscore the need for clinically validated and trustworthy systems. These findings advocate for targeted training and ethically aware design to fully realize GAI's potential as a collaborative tool in nursing.
