Attitudes Toward Artificial Intelligence Among Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Students: A Cross-Sectional Study

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the attitudes of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation students towards Artificial İntelligence (AI) and to compare the attitudes towards AI according to sociodemographic changes.Methods: 212 students participated in this study. Participants' demographic data were recorded using a sociodemographic data form. Students' attitudes toward AI were surveyed with the General Attitudes toward Artificial Intelligence Scale (GAAIS).Results: It was observed that positive and negative attitude scores didn’t differ according to age, gender, class level, accommodation, income, type of high school graduated, income status, mother or father’s education level (p>0.05). However, a significant difference was found in positive attitude scores based on daily ınternet usage duration, and in negative attitude scores based on type of income (p0.05). The frequency of using AI applications showed a significant difference in positive attitude scores (p=0.02).Conclusion: Students had positive attitudes toward AI. Moreover, while students’ attitudes were not affected by sociodemographic variables toward AI, greater use of the internet and AI contributed to more positive attitudes.
