This study aimed to investigate the attitudes of surgical unit nurses towards the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in nursing. A descriptive and cross-sectional design was used. The study was conducted with 368 nurses working in surgical units of two hospitals located in eastern Turkey between July and October 2025. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form and the Attitude Scale for the Use of Artificial Intelligence Technologies in Nursing. Descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Welch tests, and post hoc analyses were applied using SPSS, with a significance level set at p 0.05). Nurses’ attitudes toward artificial intelligence technologies vary according to personal and professional characteristics, as well as education and knowledge levels. Expanding AI-related training programs and enhancing nurses’ knowledge may promote more positive attitudes and facilitate the effective integration of AI technologies into surgical nursing practice.
