Background: As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance in healthcare, limited research has explored how nursing professionals perceive its integration into clinical practice and education—particularly among those directly involved in AI-driven initiatives. This qualitative study aimed to investigate the perceptions, experiences, and expectations of nursing educators and clinical practitioners regarding the application of AI in nursing and to provide insights for the advancement of AI-driven nursing science. Methods: A descriptive qualitative design was employed. Between September and December 2024, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 nursing professionals from universities and hospitals in Shanghai, Suzhou, and Chengdu, China. Participants were selected using maximum variation sampling, and data were analyzed using content analysis. Results: Three major themes and eleven sub-themes were identified: (1) The potential of multi-perspective development of AI-driven nursing science and practice, including aiding in decision-making, assisting with writing nursing documents, helping in care practices with high exposure risks and heavy physical exertion, and supporting the development of nursing activities. (2) A multi-dimensional response to the wave of intelligent nursing research and practice: education and scientific research come first, then we fully explore the application scenarios, and then conduct deep interdisciplinary integration. (3) Obstacles for ...
