The Impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Midwifery Education: A Scoping Review.

Healthcare (Basel)

Section of Midwifery Science, Institute of Health Sciences, University of Tübingen, 72076 Tübingen, Germany.

Published: May 2024

As in other healthcare professions, artificial intelligence will influence midwifery education. To prepare midwifes for a future where AI plays a significant role in healthcare, educational requirements need to be adapted. This scoping review aims to outline the current state of research regarding the impact of AI on midwifery education. The review follows the framework of Arksey and O'Malley and the PRISMA-ScR. Two databases (Academic Search Premier and PubMed) were searched for different search strings, following defined inclusion criteria, and six articles were included. The results indicate that midwifery practice and education is faced with several challenges as well as opportunities when integrating AI. All articles see the urgent need to implement AI technologies into midwifery education for midwives to actively participate in AI initiatives and research. Midwifery educators need to be trained and supported to use and teach AI technologies in midwifery. In conclusion, the integration of AI in midwifery education is still at an early stage. There is a need for multidisciplinary research. The analysed literature indicates that midwifery curricula should integrate AI at different levels for graduates to be prepared for their future in healthcare.

Importance: Pediatric peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion can be difficult and time-consuming, frequently requiring multiple insertion attempts and often resulting in increased anxiety, distress, and treatment avoidance among children and their families. Ultrasound-guided PIVC insertion is a superior alternative to standard technique (palpation and visualization) in high-risk patients.

Objective: To compare first-time insertion success of PIVCs inserted with ultrasound guidance compared with standard technique (palpation and visualization) across all risk categories in the general pediatric hospital population.

Background And Aims: The primary teaching approach known as "traditional lecture" has drawbacks, including being dull and reducing student participation, which has made students feel negatively about it. It seems that by implementing certain changes, active learning techniques like the "Audience Response System" could alter students' perceptions of lectures. The purpose of this study is to find out how employing "ARS" throughout a course has affected nursing students' perceptions of traditional lectures.

Radboud Institute for Health Sciences, Scientific Center for Quality of Healthcare (IQ Health), Radboud University Medical Center, Kapittelweg 54, 6525 EP Nijmegen, The Netherlands.

Background: Evidence-based practice (EBP) is crucial for appropriate, effective, and affordable care. Despite EBP education, barriers like low self-efficacy and outcome expectancy limit nurses' engagement in EBP. Reliable scales are essential to evaluate interventions aimed at improving self-efficacy and outcome expectancy in EBP.
