The Effect of Nursing Students' Artificial Intelligence Anxiety on Their Knowledge of Robotic Surgery: The Mediating Role of Individual Innovativeness

摘要

AIMS: This study aims of determine the mediating role of individual innovativeness in the effect of nursing students' artificial intelligence anxiety on their robotic surgery knowledge level. DESIGN: This study was cross-sectional type. METHODS: It was conducted with 391 students. Artificial Intelligence Anxiety Scale, Robotic Surgery and Robotic Surgery Nursing Knowledge Level Survey and Individual Innovativeness Scale were used to collect data. PROCESS Macro methods were used. RESULTS: There was a negative, very weak and significant relationship among artificial intelligence anxiety and individual innovativeness and level of robotic surgery nursing knowledge. There was a positive, very weak and significant relationship among students' individual innovativeness and level of robotic surgery nursing knowledge. Individual innovativeness mediated the relationship among artificial intelligence anxiety and level of robotic surgery nursing knowledge. CONCLUSIONS: Individual innovativeness contributes to reducing the artificial intelligence anxiety to increase the robotic surgery knowledge levels of students.
