Abstract
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of using ChatGPT as programming support for nursing PhD students conducting analyses using the All of Us Researcher Workbench.
Materials and methods: 9 students in a PhD-level nursing course were prospectively randomized into 2 groups who used ChatGPT for programming support on alternating assignments in the workbench. Students reported completion time, confidence, and qualitative reflections on barriers, resources used, and the learning process.
Results: The median completion time was shorter for novices and certain assignments using ChatGPT. In qualitative reflections, students reported ChatGPT helped generate and troubleshoot code and facilitated learning but was occasionally inaccurate.
Discussion: ChatGPT provided cognitive scaffolding that enabled students to move toward complex programming tasks using the All of Us Researcher Workbench but should be used in combination with other resources.
Conclusion: Our findings support the feasibility of using ChatGPT to help PhD nursing students use the All of Us Researcher Workbench to pursue novel research directions.
目的我们旨在评估使用 ChatGPT 作为编程支持的可行性,以帮助护理学博士生使用 "我们所有人 "研究员工作台进行分析。材料与方法:9 名护理学博士课程的学生被随机分为两组,在工作台中交替作业时使用 ChatGPT 作为编程支持。学生们报告了完成时间、信心以及对障碍、所用资源和学习过程的定性反思:结果:使用 ChatGPT 的新手和某些作业的中位完成时间较短。在定性反思中,学生们表示 ChatGPT 有助于生成代码和排除故障,促进了学习,但偶尔也会出现不准确的情况:讨论:ChatGPT 提供了认知支架,使学生能够使用 All of Us Researcher 工作台完成复杂的编程任务,但应与其他资源结合使用:我们的研究结果支持使用 ChatGPT 帮助护理学博士生使用 All of Us Researcher Workbench 追求新的研究方向的可行性。
