AI tutor for nurses: can ChatGPT improve pain care training?
NCT ID NCT07552363
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using ChatGPT alongside traditional bedside training helps nursing students learn pain management better. 156 students will be randomly assigned to either AI-assisted or standard teaching. Researchers will measure changes in knowledge, attitudes, competence, and confidence. The goal is to see if AI can improve nursing education and patient care.

- Active substance
- ChatGPT-driven blended teaching model for pain management
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that AI tools like ChatGPT improve how nursing students learn pain management, potentially leading to better patient care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage educational trial, not a treatment study. Results may not apply to other settings or guarantee real-world improvements.
