Özet
Background: Recent advancements in artificial intelligence technologies particularly ChatGPT have supported learning and fostered critical thinking in nursing education. However, integrating these tools into academic settings requires both ethical and strategic planning. Aim: This study aims to explore the perspectives of nursing faculty members regarding the integration of ChatGPT into nursing education. Methods: This descriptive phenomenological study was conducted with 14 nursing faculty members. Data were collected using a socio-demographic information form and a semi-structured interview guide and analyzed using thematic analysis methods. The COREQ checklist was followed. Results: The average age of the nursing educators was 38.46 ± 5.23 years, and their average professional experience was 14.21 ± 3.35 years. Six main themes and twelve sub-themes were identified from the interviews. The main themes included information accuracy and reliability, contributions to educational processes, ease of use and challenges, development of professional knowledge and skills, integration into nursing practices, and the long-term impacts on nursing education. Conclusion: ChatGPT has the potential to enhance nursing education by supporting theoretical learning, improving efficiency, and fostering personalized learning experiences. To successfully integrate ChatGPT into nursing curricula, educational institutions should implement specific strategies, such as faculty training programs and AI literacy initiatives, to equip educators and students with the necessary skills to use AI tools effectively. Implications for nursing and health policy: Educational institutions should develop clear policies for the ethical and strategic integration of AI tools like ChatGPT. Future research should focus on specific methodologies, such as longitudinal studies that assess the impact of ChatGPT on student learning outcomes, as well as its long-term effects on nursing practice and healthcare services.
