Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing the modern medical landscape by enhancing diagnostic accuracy and streamlining patient care protocols. This study was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of a structured teaching program on knowledge regarding the impact of artificial intelligence in healthcare among nursing students at a selected college in Coimbatore. Quantitative research approach with one-group pretest post-test pre-experimental design was used. The study involved a sample of 70 nursing students who were selected through a non-probability convenient sampling technique. Data collection was performed using a structured questionnaire method designed to measure specific knowledge domains of AI technology. The results were analyzed using both descriptive and analytical statistics. The data revealed a significant improvement in knowledge levels following the intervention, with an obtained ‘t’ test value of 5.40, which was statistically significant at the 0.05 level. This indicates that the educational intervention successfully bridged the knowledge gap among the participants. In conclusion, the study findings clearly demonstrate that the structured teaching program was a highly effective strategy in improving the knowledge of nursing students regarding the impact of artificial intelligence in healthcare. Enhancing such competencies is vital for preparing the nursing workforce to navigate an increasingly tech-driven medical environment and ensures they remain at the forefront of innovative patient care.
