Opportunities, Challenges, and Future Directions for the Integration of Automation in Nursing Practice: Discursive Study
The ethical integration of automation into nursing practice requires more than technological readiness; it demands policy development, targeted education, and inclusive governance. When guided by professional values and human-centered design, automation can complement nursing practice and improve care delivery. Future research should prioritize longitudinal impact assessments, legal clarity, and equitable infrastructure investment to support sustainable adoption.
