| description | Introduction: In the digital age, since the application of artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly penetrating the world, the cultivation of AI literacy has become increasingly important for everyone. This systematic review investigated the level of AI literacy among healthcare professionals and students.
Material and Methods: We searched the databases PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science for relevant material. The evidence gathered from the studies included in this systematic review was reported in this study using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA). Studies that assessed the level of AI literacy among medical and healthcare professionals and students met the inclusion criteria for this study. The quality of the included study for this review was assessed using the analytical cross-sectional critical assessment checklist developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). The same standard checklist was used for data extraction.
Results: Of the 10 included studies, 4 (40%) reported a low level of preparation, knowledge, and literacy. In a study, it was also shown that radiologists had acceptable literacy about AI, and it seems that they had a better study of this field compared to other specialists. Another study showed that initially the level of AI literacy was not acceptable but improved significantly after training. Two studies also hailed AI's contribution to improving healthcare.
Conclusion: Evidence from this review indicated that half of the studies on the AI literacy of professionals and students were very low, and other included studies also reported the basic literacy of AI acceptably. Finally, in all included studies, AI training courses and their application in healthcare were considered necessary for professionals and students, and they were trying to improve the educational infrastructure. |
