Abstract
Aim
This study was conducted to examine the effect of nursing students' use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools while preparing patient education materials on the understandability, actionability and quality of the material in terms of content.
Background
AI can significantly improve nursing students' learning experiences, helping them to be better prepared for the challenges of a rapidly changing healthcare environment. By ensuring that materials are prepared in accordance with students' individual learning styles, preferences and needs, AI can both improve the effectiveness of educational materials and contribute to better learning outcomes.
Design
This study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study.
Methods
The study completed with 180 nursing students (control group = 89; intervention group = 91). The students in the control group used auxiliary tools such as books, journals and websites while preparing patient education materials. The students in the intervention group used AI tools in addition to tools such as books, journals and websites. Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT) and Global Quality Scale were used to evaluate the educational materials.
Results
There are significant differences in students' PEMAT scores between the intervention and control groups in terms of both understandability, actionability and quality (p<0.001).
Conclusions
Nursing students' use of AI tools in preparing patient education materials has increased the understandability, actionability and quality of educational materials. The results show that the integration of AI into educational material preparation processes plays an important role in improving the effectiveness of educational contents.
期刊介绍:
Nurse Education in Practice enables lecturers and practitioners to both share and disseminate evidence that demonstrates the actual practice of education as it is experienced in the realities of their respective work environments. It is supportive of new authors and will be at the forefront in publishing individual and collaborative papers that demonstrate the link between education and practice.
