Background And Aims: The recent integration of artificial intelligence (AI) across education, research, and clinical healthcare has led to a growing interest in AI training for healthcare students. This scoping review seeks to delve into existing literature, aiming to evaluate the perceptions and attitudes, of health science students toward the implementation of AI in their field.
Methods: This review followed the methodological guidance offered by Arksey and O'Malley and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). A systematic search was conducted in the databases Medline, Emcare, and Scopus. Studies using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies were eligible if they explored the perceptions or attitudes of health science students in relation to AI. Relevant data from eligible articles was extracted and analyzed using narrative synthesis.
Results: Ten studies were included. Articles reported on the primary outcomes of perceptions (i.e., thoughts, ideas, satisfaction, etc.) and attitudes (i.e., beliefs, tendencies, etc.). Disciplines included nursing, diagnostic radiography, pharmacy, midwifery, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and speech pathology were featured. Overall, students felt positively about the potential benefits AI would have on their future work. Students' interest and willingness to learn about AI was also favorable. Studies evaluating attitudes found positive correlations between attitudes toward AI, AI utilization, and intention to use AI. Negative perceptions related to threats of job security, and a lack of realism associated with AI software.
Conclusion: Overall, evidence from this review indicates that health science students' worldwide hold positive perceptions toward AI. Educators should focus on instilling positive attitudes toward AI, given correlations between AI exposure and intention to adopt AI.

Artificial sweeteners have emerged as popular alternatives to traditional sweeteners, driven by the growing concern over sugar consumption and its associated rise in obesity and metabolic disorders. Despite their widespread use, the safety and health implications of artificial sweeteners remain a topic of debate, with conflicting evidence contributing to uncertainty about their long-term effects. This review synthesizes current scientific evidence regarding the impact of artificial sweeteners on gut microbiota and gastrointestinal health.

Objectives: Supervised toothbrushing programmes (STPs), whereby children brush their teeth at nursery or school with a fluoride toothpaste under staff supervision, are a clinically and cost-effective intervention to reduce dental caries. However, uptake is varied, and the reasons unknown. The aim was to use an implementation science approach to explore the perspectives of key stakeholders on the barriers and facilitators at each level of implementation of STPs.

Background And Objectives: Loneliness is a serious public health concern among the aging population. Not only is loneliness an unpleasant emotional experience, it is also associated with worse health, well-being, and even mortality. This is a particularly important issue among the population aging with intellectual and developmental disabilities, who are more likely to experience loneliness across the life course, and who - particularly if living in an intermediate care facility (ICF) or nursing facility - may lack social connections.
