Cognitive status of nursing postgraduates toward Generative Artificial Intelligence: a qualitative study based on the UTAUT framework

Generative Artificial Intelligence is increasingly integrated into research and practice in healthcare and nursing. Nursing students should approach Generative Artificial Intelligence tools rationally and apply them appropriately. This study demonstrates that nursing postgraduates hold a relatively positive attitude and cognitive stance toward Generative Artificial Intelligence. In light of the current lack of Generative Artificial Intelligence-related education, the study also proposes educational strategies tailored to the Chinese context.
