Integrating Artificial Intelligence into Nursing Practice

Dear Colleagues,

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming healthcare by enhancing clinical decision-making, optimizing workflows, and supporting patient-centered care. In nursing practice, AI-driven tools offer opportunities to improve assessment accuracy, early detection of patient deterioration, individualized care planning, and resource allocation. As nurses play a pivotal role in patient safety and care coordination, understanding how AI can be effectively integrated into nursing practice is critical to ensuring that technological advancements align with professional values and clinical needs.

We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, “Integrating Artificial Intelligence into Nursing Practice.” This Special Issue aims to explore the opportunities, challenges, and practical implications of AI adoption in nursing. It seeks to advance scientific knowledge and evidence-based strategies that support safe, ethical, and effective integration of AI technologies into diverse nursing contexts. This topic aligns with the journal’s focus on improving healthcare quality, patient outcomes, and the professional development of nurses through innovation and research.

In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Implementation and evaluation of AI tools in clinical nursing practice;
• Nurse–AI collaboration and decision support systems;
• Ethical and professional considerations in AI-assisted care;
• Barriers and facilitators to AI adoption in nursing practice;
• Impact of AI on nursing workflow, patient safety, and quality of care;
• Perspectives of nurses and patients on AI-driven healthcare.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
