This study explores nurses' perspectives on privacy and ethical concerns related to the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare. Nurses, as frontline healthcare professionals, play a critical role in the ethical integration of AI technologies. The research employed Van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenology to conduct qualitative interviews with 20 nurses from tertiary hospitals in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Thematic analysis revealed six key themes: ethical dimensions of AI integration, privacy challenges in healthcare AI, balancing innovation and ethical practice, human touch versus technological progress, patient-centered care in the AI era, and ethical preparedness and education. Nurses emphasized the importance of informed decision-making, ethical guidelines, and patient privacy in the context of AI adoption. They highlighted the need for transparency, accountability, and the protection of sensitive patient data. Nurses also stressed the importance of maintaining a human connection with patients, ensuring that AI technologies enhance rather than replace compassionate care. The study found that nurses are committed to upholding ethical standards in AI implementation, advocating for patient-centered care and ensuring that AI systems prioritize patient welfare. The findings underscore the need for nurses to be involved in the responsible development and implementation of AI technologies in healthcare. Nurses play a vital role in ensuring that AI systems are used ethically and that patient privacy is protected. The study also highlights the importance of training and education for nurses to navigate the ethical implications of AI adoption. Nurses are called to advocate for patient privacy, maintain ethical standards, and ensure that AI technologies are used in a way that benefits patients while upholding the values of healthcare. The study concludes that nurses are essential in shaping the ethical and responsible use of AI in healthcare, ensuring that technological advancements do not compromise patient care and trust.This study explores nurses' perspectives on privacy and ethical concerns related to the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare.
