Abstract

Background: The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into medicine has enhanced clinical information processing. ChatGPT, an AI language model, has demonstrated proficiency in generating human-like responses to complex medical queries. This study explores ChatGPT's potential to instruct parents on behavioral parent training (BPT) for managing attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children.

Methods: ChatGPT was prompted with three parent-focused questions regarding BPT for ADHD. An ADHD-specialized psychiatrist reviewed the model's responses to assess clarity, accuracy, and clinical relevance.

Results: ChatGPT provided responses that were easy to understand and included actionable behavioral strategies. The answers referenced professional literature; however, some references were outdated. Limitations were noted in the specificity and depth of the information provided.

Conclusion: AI tools like ChatGPT show promise as supplementary resources in patient education and caregiver support. While helpful, current limitations-particularly in depth and reference accuracy-indicate a need for refinement to maximize their effectiveness in clinical communication and patient management contexts.

简短的研究文章：人工智能语言模型在精神病患者教育中的评估。

背景：人工智能（AI）和机器学习（ML）在医学领域的应用增强了临床信息处理能力。ChatGPT是一种人工智能语言模型，它已经证明可以熟练地对复杂的医疗问题产生类似人类的反应。本研究探讨了ChatGPT在指导父母行为训练（BPT）管理儿童注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）方面的潜力。方法：ChatGPT以三个以家长为中心的问题提示ADHD的BPT。一位专门研究adhd的精神病学家回顾了该模型的反应，以评估其清晰度、准确性和临床相关性。结果：ChatGPT提供了易于理解的响应，并包含可操作的行为策略。答案参考了专业文献；然而，有些参考文献已经过时了。注意到所提供资料的专一性和深度的局限性。结论：ChatGPT等人工智能工具有望成为患者教育和护理人员支持的补充资源。虽然有帮助，但目前的局限性，特别是在深度和参考准确性方面，表明需要改进，以最大限度地提高其在临床沟通和患者管理方面的有效性。

期刊介绍： Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) publishes high quality, peer-reviewed child and adolescent mental health services research of relevance to academics, clinicians and commissioners internationally. The journal''s principal aim is to foster evidence-based clinical practice and clinically orientated research among clinicians and health services researchers working with children and adolescents, parents and their families in relation to or with a particular interest in mental health. CAMH publishes reviews, original articles, and pilot reports of innovative approaches, interventions, clinical methods and service developments. The journal has regular sections on Measurement Issues, Innovations in Practice, Global Child Mental Health and Humanities. All published papers should be of direct relevance to mental health practitioners and clearly draw out clinical implications for the field.
