Background: The integration of AI into healthcare influences healthcare
providers’ knowledge, attitudes, and workplace flourishing, grounded in key
theoretical frameworks. Social cognitive theory suggests AI-enhanced programs
may shape knowledge acquisition and decision-making. The Theory of Planned
Behavior helps explain how perceptions of AI affect professional attitudes.
Meanwhile, workplace flourishing aligns with positive organizational psychology,
emphasizing autonomy and engagement factors potentially impacted by AI
adoption. We aimed to examine the impact of artificial intelligence enhancement
programs on the knowledge, attitudes, and workplace flourishing of healthcare
providers.
Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental study conducted on
healthcare providers at Zagazig University Hospital. The data was gathered
using a self-administered three-domain tool, including an artificial intelligence
knowledge domain, general attitudes toward artificial intelligence domain, and
a workplace flourishing domain.
Results: Regarding the artificial intelligence technologies knowledge, attitude,
and flourishing at work scales, post-intervention scores of all domains showed
a statistically significant increase compared to pre-intervention, with a percent
increase in knowledge score, attitude, and flourishing at work score were 123.14,
74.28, and 10.63%, respectively. Post-intervention attitude score was significantly
positively correlated with knowledge score (p = 0.001). In addition, age and
years of experience were negatively correlated with changes in knowledge and
attitude.
Conclusion: Artificial intelligence training is essential for enhancing healthcare
providers’ knowledge and alleviating their concerns regarding its integration
into healthcare
