Abstract:

Through research and investigation, this presentation delves into artificial intelligence’s (AI) revolutionary power in combating this timely topic. This presentation will present the use of AI to detect early symptoms of burnout among nursing staff, optimize workloads, and provide real-time support. In a review of existing applications of AI within healthcare, the talk will illustrate how genuine solutions driven by AI can prevent burnout from happening to individual staff – before it is too late -by reducing administrative burden, facilitating predictive analytics for staffing requirements and personalizing approaches in support mental health or other interventions. Case studies will illustrate the successful implementation of AI tools in healthcare settings with a demonstrable impact on nurse well-being and patient outcomes. The presentation will also speak to the ethical implications and some challenges we might face when embedding AI in nursing workflow (such as continuous training and preservation of human-centered care). With AI by their side, healthcare providers can enable the transformation to a more sustainable and supportive career for nurses, so they have what it takes not only to manage but also to thrive in their jobs.
