TY - JOUR T1 - Assessing Medical Students’ Anxiety and Preparedness Regarding Artificial Intelligence A1 - Henk van Dijk A1 - Pieter de Vries A1 - Jeroen Bakker JF - Interdisciplinary Research in Medical Sciences Specialty JO - Interdiscip Res Med Sci Spec SN - 3062-4401 Y1 - 2023 VL - 3 IS - 2 DO - 10.51847/VmzMolm73z SP - 120 EP - 127 N2 - This study investigates the levels of anxiety and preparedness for artificial intelligence (AI) among medical students and examines how these factors are related. Between April and June 2022, data were gathered from medical students via both in-person and online questionnaires. The instruments included a socio-demographic form, an AI anxiety scale, and a medical AI readiness scale. Data from 542 participants were analyzed using SPSS version 25, with reliability assessed through Cronbach's α. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed using AMOS 24, accompanied by a path diagram. Findings showed that students generally demonstrated moderate readiness for AI but experienced high anxiety, with a significant negative relationship between readiness and anxiety. These results highlight the importance of preparing medical students for AI applications and reducing associated anxieties, recommending the integration of AI into medical curricula and the creation of a standardized teaching framework.
