AI is heralded as a transformative force for the primary health care (PHC) sector, offering enhanced clinical decision-making, reduced administrative burden, increased patient engagement, and improved efficiency. This paper explores the opportunities, challenges, ethical issues, and impacts of AI implementation in PHC centers. Existing literature demonstrates positive impacts including improved diagnostic accuracy and precision, increased efficiency, and better patient outcomes. However, wide adoption is hindered by barriers such as data standardization and quality issues, poor organizational readiness, low physician acceptance, and the intention-implementation gap. Serious ethical issues include algorithmic bias, threats to data privacy, dehumanization of care, professional accountability concerns, and insufficient governance frameworks. For nurses, AI presents transformative opportunities, yet concerns remain regarding professional redundancy and loss of therapeutic relationships. Responsible AI implementation in PHC therefore requires nurses as equal stakeholders, with appropriate education and context-specific ethical guidelines.

Rapid digital healthcare transformation adds complex new technological role expectations to nursing, in addition to extensive clinical and holistic care expertise. Nursing education must expand to accommodate substantive new technologies involved in contemporary healthcare services, but knowledge of digital preparedness and impacts on nursing identity and leadership is lacking. This study explores the potential of a playful reflective workshop to explore innovative pedagogical techniques' ability to improve nursing learners' attainment of educational goals and satisfaction, based on a pilot study among 16 nursing students. The findings indicate that participants found digital transformation to be a useful support mechanism for nursing care and education, with high scores for participation, creativity, and depth of reflection. The majority found the workshop meaningful and useful for improving their confidence in using tools/approaches, feeling more prepared, and having improved understanding, with less support for its positive role in leadership identity.
