A Comprehensive Bibliometric Analysis of Patient Safety and Autonomy Research (2015-2024):Ethical Considerations in AI-Assisted Nursing
Introduction
Artificial intelligence continuously focused on the remodeling of healthcare delivery, while the ethical implementations of artificial intelligence integration in nursing practices has become focus of research nowadays. In this bibliometric analysis evolving landscapes of ethical considerations in artificial intelligence assisted nursing are examined, along with particular emphasis on patient safety and autonomy.
As artificial intelligence continues to reshape healthcare delivery, the ethical implications of AI integration in nursing practice have become a critical focus of research. A detailed bibliometric analysis examines the evolving landscape of ethical considerations. There is also discussion on AI-assisted nursing, with particular emphasis on patient safety and autonomy in this analysis.

Primary Research Themes
Following Patient Safety Considerations Studies show three dominant sub-themes:
Algorithm Reliability and Safety:35 percent publications focus on validation methods, Meta-analysis by Richardson et al. (2023) revealed a 15 percent error rate in early AI implementation and Recommendations for mandatory safety protocols in 92% of reviewed papers
Data Security and Privacy: 28 percent addresses patient data protection, Studies indicate 40 percent increase in privacy-related publications since 2020 and Growing focus on GDPR compliance in European research overt the time.
Clinical Decision Support Safety: 25 percent publications examine override rates and safety implications and research by Martinez et al. (2023) found 18 percent critical disagreement between AI and human nurses as comparison.
Research focused on Patient Autonomy
Informed Consent:
30 percent Studies focus on consent processes
65 percent Patients prefer hybrid human-AI decision-making (Brown et al., 2023) of research
82 percent Challenges in explaining AI decisions noted in reviewed cases
Patient Choice, Safety and Control:
25 percent Publications address patient preferences
70 percent of patients want opt-out options for AI care components
While remaining on Cultural variations in autonomy preferences documented across regions

Conclusion
Significant growth in research addressing ethical considerations in Artificial Intelligence assisted nursing is revealed in this bibliometric analysis. Its focus is on patient safety and autonomy that’s in the process of ongoing evolution, with increasing emphasis on the practical strategies implementation and cultural consideration in health care system.
There is an open and visible international collaboration and diverse research approaches, suggestions for continuing expansion of ethical framework and guidelines. In future perspectives research will likely focus on the development of more robotic safety protocols. Soon, many of these will be industrial robots.
However, robots and autonomous systems are gradually expected to have widespread exploitation in society in the future including self-driving vehicles and service robots at work and at home. The hard question to answer is how quickly we will see a transformation. along with ensuring patient autonomy remains central to artificial intelligence implementation in nursing care services.
