ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Midwifery education is undergoing a transformation through artificial intelligence technologies by enabling personalized learning, enhancing clinical decision-making skills, and improving professional competence through simulation-based practices.
OBJECTIVES:
This study aims to examine the existing literature on the use of artificial intelligence in midwifery education through a bibliometric analysis, in order to reveal the current status, research trends, and prominent areas of focus within the field.
METHODS:
A total of 164 publications were identified through a search conducted in the Web of Science database. Based on the inclusion criteria of the study, only publications in English, published after 2004, and categorized as “articles” were included. Accordingly, 7 documents labeled as “editorial material” or “proceedings paper” were excluded, and 157 publications were included in the final analysis.
RESULTS:
The findings indicate a notable increase in the number of publications related to the use of artificial intelligence in midwifery education, particularly from 2018 onward, reaching its peak in 2023. The bibliometric analysis revealed four clusters within a network of 22 authors, with a total of 73 links and a total link strength of 12.50. Additionally, 267 keywords were identified and grouped into 27 clusters, forming a network with 984 total links and a total link strength of 206.50. The most prominent keywords included “virtual reality,” “educational technology,” “education,” “nursing education,” and “midwifery.” In recent years, emerging and frequently studied topics have been associated with keywords such as “virtual reality,” “ChatGPT,” “midwifery students,” “feedback,” “asynchronous feedback,” and “aged care.”
CONCLUSIONS:
The findings suggest that digital technologies and artificial intelligence are gaining increasing importance in midwifery education, accompanied by a rise in multidisciplinary studies in the field. In particular, virtual reality and AI-supported tools (e.g., ChatGPT) have recently come to the forefront, indicating that current research trends are increasingly focused on these technologies
