Abstract
BACKGROUND: Fostering creativity in nursing education is essential for equipping students with critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Nurse educators play a pivotal role in nurturing creativity among nursing students, yet their effectiveness is shaped by institutional and technological influences. While an evidence-based practice (EBP) climate provides a structured framework for innovative teaching, the increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education necessitates that educators develop AI competence self-efficacy. AI tools, such as personalized learning systems, adaptive simulations, and data-driven decision-making platforms, enhance creativity-nurturing behaviors by supporting individualized student engagement and dynamic problem-solving approaches. However, the extent to which AI competence self-efficacy strengthens the relationship between EBP climate and creativity-nurturing behaviors remains underexplored.
