Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by improving efficiency and reducing errors; however, challenges such as inadequate funding and lack of awareness among healthcare professionals hinder its integration into healthcare service delivery.
Aim: To assess the awareness of undergraduate student nurses regarding the role of AI in healthcare.
Design: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used.
Settings: The study was conducted at two nursing colleges in Pakistan: The Foundation University College of Nursing and the Institute of Nursing Wah Medical College.
Participants: A sample of 162 student nurses was selected, consisting of BSc Nursing students from the two nursing institutions.
Methods: Data were collected using a pre-validated questionnaire adapted from Ahmad et al. (2023), comprising multiple-choice and Likert scale questions. The questionnaire assessed demographic information and awareness of AI, including barriers and advantages of AI in healthcare. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for demographic variables and responses from participants.
Results: Of the total sample, 59.9 % of students had heard of AI in healthcare, while only 43.8 % had the requisite technical skills to understand AI literature. Additionally, 38.3 % had never encountered AI applications in their profession. The primary barriers to AI education were the lack of specialized courses (35.8 %) and mentorship (41.4 %), while key benefits included faster healthcare procedures (51.2 %) and a reduction in medical errors (32.7 %).
Conclusions: Although many student nurses are aware of AI, there is a substantial gap in technical knowledge and practical application. To address this, nursing curricula should include dedicated AI courses and practical training modules. Enhanced educational resources and support networks are crucial for overcoming existing barriers and leveraging AI's potential to transform healthcare practices.

Hyaluronidase-facilitated subcutaneous immunoglobulin (fSCIG) 10% offers potential improvements in patient independence and tolerability versus intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) when used for the treatment of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP). fSCIG 10% also requires less frequent infusions and fewer infusion sites than conventional subcutaneous immunoglobulin (subcutaneous immunoglobulin without hyaluronidase). The ADVANCE-CIDP 1 study demonstrated fSCIG 10% efficacy and safety in preventing CIDP relapse and positive responses from patients in terms of satisfaction and treatment preference.

To build competencies, an IP leadership learning protocol (ILLP) was developed using an evidence-informed conflict resolution self-study and patient-care video conference (PCVC) for family NP students, which was later adapted for psychiatric mental health (PMH) NP students and measured effectiveness.
Method: Flipped-classroom initial self-study of IP leadership strategies and relevant clinical considerations culminated in applying this learning within the PCVC by role-playing deliberately contrived adversarial IP roles with a faculty facilitator intermittently designating students to act as the IP leader.
Anger De-escalation: A Standardized Patient Workshop for Third- and Fourth-Year Medical Students.

Introduction: During clinical training, medical students frequently encounter angry patients and loved ones but feel inadequately prepared to de-escalate these encounters. This unpreparedness might contribute to feelings of shame and anger among medical students and burnout among practicing physicians. Challenging patient scenarios abound in the standardized patient (SP) literature, but no published didactic tool exists focusing exclusively on identification and nonpharmaceutical management of patient anger with a target audience of senior medical students.
