ABSTRACT

Background:

Background:

Regarding the rapid development of artificial intelligence and the popular use of ChatGPT, the Artificial Intelligence Quotient(AIQ), the employability of nursing students, and their cognition and demand for ChatGPT are worthy of attention.

Objective:

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate Chinese nursing students' AIQ and employability status and the cognition and demand for the latest artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT. This was conducted to guide future initiatives in nursing intelligence education and improve the employability of nursing students.

Methods:

Methods:

This study used a cross-sectional survey to understand nursing college students' AIQ, employability, cognition, and demand for ChatGPT. Using correlation analysis and multiple hierarchical regression analysis, we explored the relevant factors of nursing college students' employability.

Results:

Results:

In this study, out of 1,788 students, 1,453 (81.30%) had not used ChatGPT, and 1170 (65.40%) had never heard of ChatGPT before this survey. College students' employability scores were positively correlated with AIQ, self-regulation ability, and students' home location and negatively correlated with school level. Additionally, men scored higher on college students' employability compared to women. Furthermore, 76.5% of the variance was explained by the multiple hierarchical regression model for predicting college students' employability scores.

Conclusions:

Conclusions:

For Chinese nursing students, the cognition and use of ChatGPT are still relatively low, and their AIQ is at an intermediate level. The college students' employability was significantly correlated with AIQ, self-regulation, gender, school level, and home location. Future education should pay more attention to the cultivation and development of AIQ, the self-regulation ability of Chinese nursing students, and the employability of students from rural areas, female students, and key college students.
