First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether an AI-supported empathy-map teaching model can improve communication skills, empathy, and grit in pediatric nursing students. Sixty-six third-year nursing students will use AI-generated prompts and empathy maps during their practicum. The goal is to help them better understand children's emotional needs and handle challenging conversations.
