Abstract
Aim
This study evaluated the content and information quality of CQI reports generated by a large language model (LLM).
Background
CQI in nursing education relies on extensive data analysis. LLMs have emerged as effective tools for producing quality documentation.
Design
Mixed method design.
Methods
We developed a prompt in which refined in consultation with multidisciplinary experts. CQI reports were generated by GPT-o3, covering domains of statistical analysis, text analysis of learning diaries, root-cause identification and improvement planning.
Results
A total of 20 experts participated, 18 nursing professors and two professors specializing in pedagogy. All domains achieved a Content Validity Index of 0.95 or higher. Scores on information quality exceeded 4.0 across all components, demonstrating a high level of perceived accuracy, relevance, clarity, and usefulness. Analysis of the qualitative feedback identified three themes: acceptable report quality, demands for tailored reporting and in-depth analysis, and perceived reliability yet logical gaps.
Conclusions
Findings indicated that AI-generated CQI reports are valid and adequate. However, enhancing logical fluency and causal reasoning is still essential to satisfy professional standards.
