Chatbot coach boosts student Nurses' confidence in pediatric dosing
NCT ID NCT07700290
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
