Sample: A convenience sample included (50) head nurses were selected from the previously mentioned settings. Tools: Three tools were used to collect the data: (I): A self-administered Artificial Intelligence Knowledge Questionnaire, (II): A General Attitudes towards Artificial Intelligence Questionnaire, and the Flourishing at Work Scale. Results: The total level of knowledge was satisfactory among 16% of studied head nurses during the instructional guidelines implementation, while it increased to be 92% post instructional guidelines implementation. Additionally, the total positive head nurses' attitudes mean score improved from 42.33 ±20.09 pre-instructional guidelines to 82.05±16.44 post-instructional guidelines with statistically significant differences. Moreover, highly statistically significant differences between total knowledge, attitude level, and flourishing at work regarding artificial intelligence post- implementation (P<0.001). Conclusion: This study concluded that the instructional guidelines had a positive effect on improving the studied head nurses’ knowledge, attitudes and flourishing at work regarding artificial intelligence.
