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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AI-powered role-playing chatbot
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could help train nurses more effectively in breastfeeding counseling, potentially improving support for new mothers.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-site study with 80 students, so results may not apply broadly. The AI chatbot is a prototype and may not reflect real-world counseling complexity.
