However, for complex tasks such as risk of bias assessment, its performance remains significantly limited, underscoring the critical role of human expertise. The use of ChatGPT as an adjunct tool in SRs and MAs requires careful planning and the implementation of strict quality control and validation mechanisms to mitigate potential errors such as those arising from artificial intelligence (AI) 'hallucinations'. This paper also provides specific recommendations for optimizing human-AI collaboration in SRs and MAs. Assessing the specific context of each task and implementing the most appropriate strategies are critical when using ChatGPT in support of research goals. Furthermore, transparency regarding the use of ChatGPT in research reports is essential to maintaining research integrity. Close attention to ethical norms, including issues of privacy, bias, and fairness, is also imperative. Finally, from a human-centered perspective, this paper emphasizes the importance of researchers cultivating continuous self-iteration, prompt engineering skills, critical thinking, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and ethical awareness skills with the goals of: continuously optimizing human-AI collaboration models within reasonable and compliant norms, enhancing the complex-task performance of AI tools such as ChatGPT, and, ultimately, achieving greater efficiency through technological innovative while upholding scientific rigor.</p>","PeriodicalId":35672,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nursing","volume":"71 5","pages":"21-28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142355626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The patient was diagnosed with cancer in young adulthood and, as a father figure, faced various psychological issues associated with the unexpected challenges encountered during their treatment phase. Psychosocial health, which is closely associated with quality of life in patients with cancer, has gained increasing attention in recent years. The limited research published on the subject of fathers diagnosed with cancer encouraged the author to detail her experience with this case. The care period was from August 5th to August 19th, 2022. During the care period, the Gordons's 11 functional health assessment was applied, with potentially severe infections, coping disorders, anxiety, potential risk of injury existing or potential nutritional deficiencies, oral mucosal changes, and diarrhea identified as the primary health problems of concern. Nursing interventions applied included providing protective isolation measures to prevent post-transplant infection, helping the patient learn effective ways to cope with emotional distress, and providing comprehensive follow-up care information and health education to alleviate the anxiety associated with hospital discharge and life after discharge. The challenges of providing nursing care to adolescent and young adult patients differ significantly from those faced in the care of either elderly or pediatric patients. Furthermore, although extensive research has been conducted on mothers diagnosed with cancer, little research has addressed the impact on the paternal role when fathers are diagnosed with cancer, with limited information available regarding their psychological concerns and issues or the impact on family dynamics. The author hopes this case care experience offers an insightful reference and guide for nursing practice that contributes to a better understanding of the psychological aspects of young adult fathers diagnosed with cancer and facilitates more appropriate care in clinical settings.</p>","PeriodicalId":35672,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nursing","volume":"71 5","pages":"104-111"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142355618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Potential causes for this noted by patients include age-related forgetfulness, being unable to discern redness or swelling in the wound, and language comprehension difficulties (i.e., Taiwanese vs. Mandarin).
