Abstract

Background

Integrating healthcare simulators in nursing education allows for innovative training approaches. ChatGPT as a virtual patient is one such innovation. This study assessed ChatGPT's effectiveness in nursing simulation.

Methodology

Twelve nursing students from Morocco's Higher Institute of Health Sciences engaged with ChatGPT in a dyspnea scenario. Data collection included acceptability, accessibility, engagement ratings, and assessing students' virtual patient interaction skills.

Results

Students embraced ChatGPT (accessibility: 4.3 ± 0.5, engagement: 4.3 ± 0.5). They recognized its value in training (average: 4.2 ± 0.5). Student interaction skills positively correlated with overall performance. Notably, students' interaction skills demonstrated a positive correlation with their overall performance. Further analysis revealed significant correlations between specific skills: clarity and comprehensibility of responses (r = 0.701), relevance of responses (r = 0.444), and the ability to provide useful information (r = 0.597).

Conclusion

Incorporating communication-based simulations and patient engagement in nursing education is crucial. ChatGPT as a virtual patient holds promise in enriching clinical learning. Integrating such technology effectively prepares students for real patient interactions.

评估 ChatGPT 作为虚拟病人在护理模拟训练中的功效：护理专业学生的体验研究

背景在护理教育中结合医疗模拟器，可以实现创新的培训方法。作为虚拟病人的 ChatGPT 就是这样一种创新。本研究评估了 ChatGPT 在护理模拟中的有效性。方法摩洛哥卫生科学高等学院的 12 名护理专业学生在呼吸困难场景中使用 ChatGPT。数据收集包括可接受性、可访问性、参与度评分，以及评估学生的虚拟患者互动技能。结果学生们接受了 ChatGPT（可访问性：4.3 ± 0.5，参与度：4.3 ± 0.5）。他们认可其在培训中的价值（平均：4.2 ± 0.5）。学生的互动技能与总体表现呈正相关。值得注意的是，学生的互动技能与他们的总体表现呈正相关。进一步的分析表明，特定技能之间存在明显的相关性：回答的清晰度和可理解性（r = 0.701）、回答的相关性（r = 0.444）以及提供有用信息的能力（r = 0.597）。作为虚拟病人的 ChatGPT 有望丰富临床学习。整合此类技术可有效帮助学生为与真实患者互动做好准备。
