Can AI simulations boost first aid skills in future nurses?
NCT ID NCT07761221
First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether an AI-based branching simulation, where students make decisions and see outcomes, improves first aid knowledge, satisfaction, and motivation in first-year nursing students. Half the students use the simulation after a first aid course, while the other half receive traditional question-and-answer teaching. The study measures knowledge with a test and satisfaction and motivation with rating scales.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Artificial Intelligence-Based Branching Path Simulation for First Aid Education
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this AI simulation could become a new standard for teaching first aid and clinical decision-making in nursing education, potentially improving real-world emergency response.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center trial with a specific student group, so results may not generalize. The outcomes are based on self-reported satisfaction and a researcher-developed knowledge test, which may not reflect long-term skill retention.
