    Artificial Intelligence in Nursing Practice: A Qualitative Study of Nurses' Perspectives on Opportunities, Challenges, and Ethical Implications
    (BMC, 2025) Bodur, Gonul; Cakir, Hanife; Turan, Suzan; Seren, Arzu Kader Harmanci; Goktas, Polat
    BackgroundThe study aims to explore nurses' views on the effects of artificial intelligence (AI) in nursing, focusing on their understanding, practical applications, ethical considerations, and perceived opportunities and threats.MethodsThis qualitative study used semi\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\:-$$\end{document}structured interviews to gain comprehensive insights from clinical nurses, adhering to the Standards for Reporting Qualitative Research for methodological rigor. After obtaining ethical approval, researchers conducted semi\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\:-$$\end{document}structured interviews with 25 clinical nurses. The interviews explored nurses' perceptions of AI, including its basic concepts, applications in nursing practice, ethical and social implications, and potential benefits and drawbacks.ResultsThe analysis identified four overarching themes: (1) Nurses' Conceptualizations of Artificial Intelligence, (2) Opportunities of AI in Nursing Practice, (3) Threats of AI in Nursing Practice, and (4) Ethical and Psychological Concerns in AI-Based Nursing Practice. The findings revealed that nurses had a foundational understanding of AI and its definitions. They acknowledged both the positive and negative impacts of AI technologies on their practice. Nurses expressed that AI could reduce workload, enhance patient care, and improve efficiency. However, they also articulated significant threats, including concerns over professional redundancy, emotional disconnection in caregiving, de-skilling, and the risk of dehumanizing the healthcare environment. Additionally, ethical and psychological concerns emerged, such as ambiguity in accountability, threats to data security and patient safety, unsuitability in psychiatric care contexts, staff surveillance anxiety, and risks of misuse or systemic bias.ConclusionThe study concluded that while nurses possess a basic understanding of AI, the effective and ethical integration of AI technologies in nursing requires targeted training, institutional preparedness, and robust interdisciplinary collaboration. To ensure AI complements rather than compromises nursing values, it is imperative to equip nurses with skills in digital literacy, ethical reasoning, and critical engagement with AI tools. The findings highlight the necessity of structured education programs and policy development that address both the technological and humanistic dimensions of AI use in healthcare. Future research should actively incorporate patient and public voices to ensure that AI-driven transformations in care remain aligned with the principles of patient-centeredness and human dignity.

    The Earthquakes in Turkey and Their Effects on Nursing and Community Health
    (Wiley, 2023) Seren, Arzu Kader Harmanci; Dikec, Guel
    BackgroundSevere damage was experienced in 10 provinces in Turkey, and the north of Syria, with the earthquakes that hit Kahramanmaras at midnight and afternoon on February 6, 2023. AimThe authors aimed to give brief information to the international nursing community about the situation related to earthquakes in the aspects of nurses. ConclusionThese earthquakes caused traumatic processes in the affected regions. Many people, including nurses and other healthcare professionals, died or were injured. The results demonstrated that the required preparedness had not been applied. Nurses went to these areas voluntarily or on assignment and cared for individuals with injured. The universities in the country passed to distance education because of the shortage of safe places for victims. This situation also negatively influenced nursing education and clinical practice by interrupting in-person education one more time after the COVID-19 pandemic. Implications for nursing and nursing policySince the outcomes show a need for well-organized health and nursing care, policymakers may consider getting nurses' contributions to the disaster preparedness and management policy-making processes.

    Psychometric Properties and Transcultural Adaptation of Turkish Version of the Basel Assessment of Adherence to Immunosuppressive Medication Scale
    (Baskent Univ, 2025) Koken, Zeliha Ozdemir; Ordin, Yaprak Sarigol; Seren, Arzu Kader Harmanci
    Objectives: This study aimed to translate BAASIS (Basel Assessment of Adherence to Immunosuppressive Medication Scale) into Turkish and to test the psychometric properties of the translated Turkish version of the instrument. Materials and Methods: In this single-center crosssectional study, we included 100 kidney transplant recipients in a university hospital in a western city of Turkiye. The Translation and Cultural Adaptation Report from Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research was used for the transcultural adaptation of BAASIS to Turkish. We tested the validity of the BAASIS Turkish version by the level of evidence according to the American Educational Research Association guidelines: content validity, internal structure, and relations to other variables. We calculated item-total correlations of the BAASIS Turkish version to examine internal consistency reliability. Results: The content validity index score of BAASIS was calculated as 1.00, indicating agreement between the experts. Exploratory factor analysis evaluated the internal structure of BAASIS, and the coefficients for inter-item correlations ranged from 0.170 to 0.395. The Immunosuppressive Treatment Adherence Scale and the BAASIS nonadherent scores were significantly correlated (r = 0.673, P < .001). The coefficients for item-total correlation analyses ranged from 0.160 to 0.470. Conclusions: The BAASIS Turkish version has acceptable psychometric properties. The scale can be used in clinical practice and research projects in transplantation to assess immunosuppressive medication adherence.

    (Association of Executive Nurses, 2024) Selçuk, D.; Harmancı Seren, A.K.
    Aim: This study aimed to examine whether there is a relationship between turnover intention and compulsory citizenship behavior among nurses working in a training and research hospital in Istanbul. Method: The data of this descriptive and relationship-seeking study were collected with the participation of 191 nurses working in a training and research hospital in İstanbul between December 2016 and February 2017. Research data was collected through a questionnaire aimed at learning participants' personal information, Turnover Intention Scale and Compulsory Citizenship Behavior Scale. Data was analyzed on a computer. Descriptive statistics, parametric and non-parametric comparison analyze and Pearson correlation analyzes were performed. Results: Point averages of the nurses between “Turnover Intention Scale” and “Compulsory Citizenship Behavior Scale” were 2.90 (SD=1.11) and 3.42 (SD=0.90) respectively. The correlation coefficient for the relationship between the intention to quit the job and compulsory citizenship behavior was found to be r=0.315 (p<0.001). Conclusion: It has been determined that nurses have the intention to leave the job below the medium level, they exhibit compulsory citizenship behavior at the above medium level, and there is a positive, medium strength and very significant linear relationship between the intention to leave the job and the compulsory citizenship behaviour. © 2024 The Authors.

    (2024) Bacaksız, Feride Eşkin; Seren, Arzu Kader Harmancı; Güngör, Serkan; Bilgin, Osman; Baykal, Ülkü; Alan, Handan
    Giriş: Türkiye, ‹1.000 kişiye düşen hemşire sayısı› açısından OECD ülkeleri arasında sonuncuya yakın sırada yer almaktadır. Hemşireler ve hemşire yöneticiler zaten pandemi öncesi normal dönemlerde zor şartlar altında özveriyle hizmet veriyorlardı ve bu pandemi döneminde daha da zorlaştı. Bu nedenle hemşirelerin ve hemşire yöneticilerin pandemi sürecindeki deneyimlerinin araştırılması gelecekteki olası pandemilere karşı hemşirelik bakımında iyileştirme yapılması açısından önemlidir. Amaç: Bu çalışma, hemşirelerin ve hemşire yöneticilerin COVID-19 pandemisi sırasındaki deneyimlerini araştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Yöntem: Araştırmada fenomenolojik nitel yaklaşım kullanılmıştır. Örneklemi, COVID-19 pandemisi sırasında çalışan 14 yönetici hemşire ve 14 hemşire oluşturmuştur. Veriler, yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılarak sesli ve görüntülü görüşme yapılarak çevrimiçi olarak toplanmıştır. Bulgular, nitel araştırmaları raporlamak için birleştirilmiş kriterlere dayalı olarak rapor edilmiştir. Bulgular: Verilerin analizinin ardından, Türkiye’deki hemşire yönetici ve hemşirelerin COVID-19 zorluklarına ve deneyimlerine yönelik tutumları üç temaya ayrılmıştır: “İletişim ve İş birliği”, “Eğitim/Gelişim” ve “Çalışma Koşulları/Çevre”. Sonuç: Araştırma, hemşire yöneticilerin iletişimi kolaylaştırmak, hemşirelerin eğitim ve gelişim ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak ve personel hemşirelerin çalışma koşullarını iyileştirmek için büyük çaba sarf ettiği sonucuna varmıştır. Araştırma ayrıca, hemşire yöneticilerin hassas ve samimi yaklaşımlarının hemşirelerin dayanıklılığını artırdığını buldu. Hemşire yöneticilerin yönetim becerileri ve hemşirelerin pandemi sürecindeki deneyimleri, gelecekte ortaya çıkabilecek pandemi ve benzeri afetler in etkili bir şekilde yönetilmesi için değerli bilgiler ve kanıtlar sunmaktadır.

    A Cross-Sectional Survey Study on Homophobia Among Medical, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Other Health Sciences Students
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Seren, Arzu Kader Harmanci; Bacaksiz, Feride Eskin; Cakir, Hanife; Yilmaz, Sevil; Sukut, Ozge; Turan, Suzan; Maghsoudi, Nurten
    Since the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) community may be exposed to violence, discrimination, stigma, exclusion, and maltreatment due to their sexual orientation while accessing healthcare services, understanding, and improving the attitudes of future's health care professionals toward LGBTI individuals seem essential. This descriptive and cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the homophobia among medical, nursing, pharmacy, and healthcare sciences students and examine the related factors. The study included 2,531 students from medicine, nursing, pharmacy, and other health sciences (midwifery, nutrition and dietetics, physiotherapy, management of healthcare facilities) disciplines. Homophobia was measured with the Hudson and Ricketts Homophobia Scale. After getting ethical and institutional approvals, data were collected and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tests. Medical students had the lowest homophobia score, and their mean score was significantly lower than other students. There was a significant difference between students' scores according to years of study, age, sex, acquaintance with LGBTI individuals, providing healthcare services to an LGBTI person, and opinions on providing care. Although homophobia scores of nursing, pharmacy, and other health sciences students were lower than the medical students', policies and expansive content regarding LGBTI should be in place in all health science educational institutes, including medical schools, to prevent students from holding homophobic and prejudicial attitudes against LGBTI individuals.
