Abstract
Background: With the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI), head nurses should use technology
in their work to strengthen nursing management skills and practice, as well as to change nurses'
jobs, in order to be successful and flourish. Aim: The present research aimed to investigate the
effect of the artificial intelligence enhancement program on head nurses' managerial competencies
and flourishing at work. Subjects and methods: This research used a quasi-experimental design
(pre- and post-intervention) with all head nurses (92) from El Mansoura International Hospital.
Data collection tools: The self-administered Artificial Intelligence Knowledge Questionnaire, the
General Attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence Scale, the Head Nurses’ Managerial Competencies
Questionnaire, and the Flourishing at Work Scale were used. Results: Once compared to the preintervention phase, the post-intervention and follow-up phases had the highest mean scores, with a
statistically significant difference for head nurses' knowledge level, attitudes towards artificial
intelligence technologies, managerial competencies, and work flourishing. Conclusion: The partial
η2 values found for head nurses' knowledge level, attitudes towards artificial intelligence
technologies, managerial competencies, and work flourishing (0.856, 0.977, 0.968, and 0.892,
respectively) indicated that the program's implementation had a substantial impact.
Recommendations: Educational programs can assist nursing managers in developing an
understanding of artificial intelligence as well as managerial skills. More studies in this area are also
advised.
