Impact of ChatGPT-based Nursing Process Training

Overview

The goal of this randomized controlled study is to determine the impact of ChatGPT based nursing process training on nursing students' clinical decision-making competencies and artificial intelligence anxiety. Population and Sample: The population of the research consists of senior students studying at Gülhane Faculty of Nursing, University of Health Sciences. Power analysis was performed to determine the number of people to be included in the study. The power of the test was calculated with the G\*Power 3.1 program. In a similar study in the relevant literature, the effect size regarding the change in clinical decision-making level was calculated as 0.898. In order to exceed the 99% value in determining the power of the study; At the 5% significance level and 0.898 effect size, 44 people, 22 people in the groups, need to be reached (df=21; t=1.721). In the research, it was aimed to reach a total of 60 people, 30 people in the groups, considering the high power of the test and the losses.

Nurses, who are important members of the healthcare team, often encounter situations in the clinic that require them to make decisions. Nurses need to make a complex evaluation by using critical thinking and problem-solving skills in clinical decision-making.During nursing education, it is aimed at helping students acquire the skills to make this complex evaluation. To gain these skills, real-life experiences during clinical practices, case discussions, simulations, and skill laboratories can be used. It is thought that artificial intelligence applications, which have been increasingly used in recent years, can contribute to the development of clinical decision-making skills in nursing education. In this regard, this study aimed to investigate the effect of ChatGPT use training in the nursing process on nursing students' clinical decision-making competencies and artificial intelligence anxiety.
