AI chatbot teaches nurses to counsel breastfeeding moms better than traditional methods
NCT ID NCT07670247
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether an AI-powered role-play chatbot could help nursing students improve their breastfeeding counseling skills. 80 students were split into three groups: one practiced with an AI chatbot acting as a mother, one did peer role-play, and one received standard lectures. Results showed the AI group scored higher on data collection and feedback, while the peer group excelled in empathy. The findings suggest AI could be a useful training tool, but more research is needed.
