Evaluating future nurses' perspectives on artificial intelligence, determining their missing or incorrect information on the subject and determining their anxiety levels are of great importance in terms of providing science and technology-based health services in the future. ⋯ In the study, it was determined that the artificial intelligence anxiety levels of nursing students were high. It has been determined that students with negative feelings about artificial intelligence have higher artificial intelligence anxiety levels. Our suggestion; adding courses or subjects related to artificial intelligence to the university curriculum and starting to include nurses in the working processes during their student years.

The National Health Service (NHS) Long Term Plan was published in January 2019. One of its objectives was restructuring outpatient services, as part of an Outpatient Transformation initiative. Monitoring of trusts' adherence to the objectives of the Long Term Plan is therefore required to benchmark progress against national objectives. ⋯ There are deficiencies in current outpatient establishments that may hinder the achievement of objectives set in the NHS Long Term Plan. Changes at all levels of healthcare are required, with increased reliance on technologies and investment in support for transformation management.

Medical students are demanders and future suppliers of antibiotic use. Understanding their knowledge, attitude and practice is important for appropriately using antibiotics and controlling antibiotic resistance. The objective of this study was to assess the measurement properties of existed instruments and summarize measurement items and results. ⋯ Limitations existed in the current measurement instrument including lacking validation, inconsistent classification of item and lacking item regarding the perspective of suppliers. Scientific tools for objective and accurate measure are needed.
