A total of 452 participants completed a 26\u2010item online survey via Google Forms between July 1 and September 1, 2024. The survey comprised demographic data and AI awareness assessment. Data were analysed using SPSS (version 21, IBM, Chicago, USA), with reliability analyses and descriptive statistics conducted.
