Summary

This study tests whether a web-based chatbot can improve nursing students' confidence in giving medications to children. Giving children the right dose is tricky because it depends on their weight, and mistakes can be harmful. Third-year nursing students starting their pediatric placement are randomly assigned to use either the chatbot (which includes a dose calculator and a question-answer assistant based on a trusted textbook) or standard training materials. Their self-efficacy is measured before and after the placement to see if the chatbot makes a difference.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a web-based chatbot with a dose calculator and question-answer assistant for pediatric medication
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple digital tool that improves nursing education and reduces medication errors in children.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-site educational study measuring confidence, not actual patient outcomes. Results may not generalize to other settings or translate into safer medication practices.
