Effect of a Chatbot on Nursing Students' Self-Efficacy in Pediatric Medication Administration
Sponsor: Tugba KARAKUS TURKER
Summary
This study looked at whether a chatbot can help nursing students feel more confident about giving medicines to children. Giving medicines to children is difficult because doses depend on the child's weight, and mistakes can be harmful. Third-year nursing students starting their pediatric clinical placement took part. They were divided by chance into two groups. Both groups received the usual training. One group also used a chatbot that helped with medicine dose calculations and answered questions about giving medicines to children, based on a trusted nursing textbook. The other group used only the usual references. Students' confidence in giving medicines to children was measured with a questionnaire before and after the placement. The study compared how much each group's confidence changed to see whether the chatbot added a benefit beyond the usual training.

Interventions
Chatbot-supported training
A web-based chatbot accessible via mobile and desktop browsers, containing two modules: an advanced dose calculator that computes required drug amount and volume from the child's weight, prescribed dose, and drug concentration; and a question-answer assistant that responds to pediatric medication questions using content drawn solely from a validated pediatric nursing reference textbook.
