Using convenience sampling, we recruited 64 head nurses and 592 matched staff nurses. The target sample size was determined a priori through power analysis. Staff nurses rated their head nurse\u2019s ethical leadership, their own ethical GenAI usage and their perceived AI compatibility. Head nurses rated each staff nurse\u2019s creative patient service. Hypotheses were tested using path analysis in Mplus 8.3.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ethical leadership from head nurses was positively related to nurses\u2019 creative patient service.
