    The mediating digital literacy and the moderating role of academic support in the relationship between artificial intelligence usage and creative thinking in nursing students

    Agaoglu, Ferhat Onur; Bas, Murat; Tarsuslu, Sinan; Ekinci, Lokman Onur; Agaoglu, Nihat Bugra

    Background: Artificial intelligence can be an important tool in developing creative thinking while supporting individualized learning and problem-solving skills in educational processes. However, the effect of artificial intelligence on creative thinking may differ depending on factors such as students’ digital literacy level and the academic support they receive. In this context, how artificial intelligence can encourage creative thinking in educational processes and how this process is shaped by digital literacy and academic support stands out as an issue to be investigated. Purpose: This study artificial intelligence to determine the effect of artificial intelligence use on creative thinking skills in nursing students, the mediating role of digital literacy in this effect, and the situational mediating effect of academic support. Method: This cross-sectional and descriptive correlational study was conducted with 426 nursing students from three universities in different regions of Turkey during the fall semester of 2024–2025. Simple random sampling method was used. Data were collected through demographic information form and four valid and reliable scales. Result: Research findings show that using artificial intelligence substantially and significantly affects Creative Thinking (β = 0.70, p < 0.001). Digital literacy plays mediating role in this relationship, indirectly strengthening the effect of artificial intelligence use on creative thinking (β = 0.422, LLCI = 0.357, ULCI = 0.490). As a moderating factor of this relationship, the academic support creates a more limited effect at low levels of academic support (Effect = 0.224). At the same time, it maximizes this effect at high levels of support (Effect = 0.298). Conclusion: The effect of artificial intelligence use on Creative Thinking is significantly strengthened by the mediating role of digital literacy and the moderating role of academic support. These findings suggest that developing digital skills and strengthening academic support mechanisms are critical to integrating artificial intelligence technologies into educational processes. © The Author(s) 2025.; Artificial intelligence significantly increases the creative thinking tendencies of nursing students both directly and through digital literacy. The academic support is a critical factor that strengthens the development of creative thinking skills by regulating the effect of artificial intelligence usage on digital literacy. Integrating artificial intelligence applications into the curriculum and developing digital literacy skills in nursing education programs can potentially increase the creative thinking and problem-solving competencies of 21st-century health professionals.

    Background: Increasing quality and efficiency in health services can directly relate to nurses’ innovative work behaviors. The happiness levels of nurses at the workplace can positively affect their innovative work behaviors and their willingness to make a positive difference in patient care. In this context, the study aims to examine the serial mediation role of these factors by associating the effect of nurse happiness on innovative work behaviors with transformational leadership and perception of artificial intelligence use. Methods: Nurses working in two medium-sized public hospitals in the Eastern Black Sea region of Turkey were selected as the study sample. Data were collected from 458 nurses by convenience sampling method. In this cross-sectional study, scales whose validity and reliability were supported by other studies were used. Results: When the findings of the study were evaluated, a significant positive relationship was found between nurses’ happiness and innovative work behavior. In addition, it was found that transformational leadership and perception of AI usage had a mediating role separately in the relationship between nurses’ happiness and innovative work behavior. Finally, when the research model was tested, it was also determined that transformational leadership and perception of AI use have a serial mediating role in the relationship between nurses’ happiness and innovative work behavior. Conclusions: This study revealed that nurse happiness has a significant and positive effect on innovative work behaviors, and transformational leadership and perception of artificial intelligence use have a serial mediating role in this relationship. Ultimately, this research offers some theoretical and practical implications for practitioners by emphasizing the strategic importance of transformational leadership practices and the integration of artificial intelligence technologies, as well as increasing the happiness levels of nurses to promote innovation in healthcare services.

    The Mediating Role of Job Stress in the Effect of Perceived Injustice on Cynicism Among Nurses in Türkiye: A Cross-Sectional Study; [Türkiye’deki Hemşirelerin Algıladığı Adaletsizliğin Sinizme Etkisinde İş Stresinin Aracı Rolü: Kesitsel Bir Çalışma]

    Ağaoğlu, Ferhat Onur; Baş, Murat; Ekinci, Lokman Onur

    Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of nurses' perceptions of organizational injustice on organizational cynicism and to investigate the mediating role of job stress. Understanding this relationship has crucial implications for improving workplace morale, reducing cynicism, enhancing employee well-being, and ultimately improving patient care quality. Methods: A descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional study was conducted with 396 nurses working in a medium-sized public hospital in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey, between July and August 2023. Data were collected using demographic information forms and validated scales measuring perceived organizational injustice, organizational cynicism, and job stress. Results: Perceived organizational injustice significantly and positively impacts organizational cynicism (β = 0.181; p =.004) and job stress (β = 0.269; p = .000). Additionally, job stress significantly affects organizational cynicism (β = 0.186; p = .000) and mediates the relationship between perceived organizational injustice and organizational cynicism (β = 0.150, 95% CI [0.126, 0.482]). A significant interaction was also observed between perceived injustice and job stress (β = 0.197, 95% CI [0.094, 0.300]). Conclusion: Results suggest that job stress and perceived organizational injustice independently increase cynicism among nurses. High job stress amplifies cynical attitudes, highlighting the importance of organizational justice in managing job stress and cynicism. Addressing these issues can foster a healthier work environment and enhance both employee satisfaction and the quality of patient care.
