Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out whether an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered research training course can improve nursing students' research skills, attitudes toward artificial intelligence, and readiness to use AI in research and education.

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

Does AI-powered research training improve nursing students' understanding of research methods?

Does this training improve nursing students' attitudes toward artificial intelligence?

Does the course increase nursing students' readiness and confidence to use artificial intelligence in research-related activities?

Researchers will compare nursing students who take an AI-powered research training course with students who receive usual education without AI-based training.

Participants will:

Be randomly assigned to either the AI-powered research training group or the usual education group

Complete online questionnaires about research skills, attitudes toward artificial intelligence, and readiness to use AI

Attend assessments at three time points: before the course, immediately after the course, and three months later

The AI-powered research training course includes structured sessions on research methods and the responsible use of artificial intelligence tools for literature review, research design, data analysis support, and academic writing. The results of this study may help improve research education and support the safe and effective use of artificial intelligence in nursing education and research.

AI-Powered Research Training Course

The intervention is an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered research training course designed to integrate core research methodology with the practical and responsible use of AI tools. The course consists of eight structured sessions delivered over approximately four weeks and targets nursing students with prior exposure to basic research methods. Unlike traditional research courses, this intervention embeds AI as a supportive research tool across all stages of the research process rather than as a standalone technical subject. Participants learn how AI can assist with selecting research topics, searching and organizing scientific literature, developing research questions, supporting study design decisions, managing references, and drafting research reports, while maintaining critical judgment and methodological rigor. The training emphasizes ethical and responsible use of AI, including issues related to data privacy, transparency, plagiarism prevention, and algorithmic bias.
