About this study
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the immediate efficacy of a Large Language Model (LLM)-assisted training program in enhancing nurses' emergency response capabilities in 204 practicing nurses with ≤5 years of experience from tertiary hospitals in Guiyang, China, focusing on public health emergencies (PHEs). The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does LLM-assisted training improve nurses' comprehensive emergency response capabilities in PHEs?
- Does it specifically enhance rescue skills and occupational protection abilities? Researchers will compare the experimental group (receiving routine PHE training + LLM-assisted learning) to the control group (receiving routine PHE training only) to see if LLM supplementation leads to significantly greater improvements in targeted emergency competencies.

Participants will:
Complete pre- and post-training assessments (Nurse Self-Assessment Scale for Emergency Response Ability, Nurse's Emergency Response Capacity Scale for PHEs).
Undergo a one-month PHE training program. (Experimental Group Only): Use LLMs for knowledge review, question answering, and exploring unfamiliar concepts during the training period.
- Being tested
- LLM-Assisted Public Health Emergency Training Program, Standard Public Health Emergency Training Program
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
LLM-Assisted Public Health Emergency Training ProgramOther
A hybrid training program integrating the hospital's standard public health emergency (PHE) curriculum with Large Language Model (LLM) technology as an auxiliary learning tool. Participants receive:
- Standardized PHE training (online lectures + offline simulations) covering professional knowledge, skills, and emergency drills (e.g., infectious disease response, trauma management).
- LLM-enabled interactive support: Structured guidance to use LLMs for:
Reviewing session content Resolving knowledge uncertainties via Exploring unfamiliar PHE concepts
- Duration: 1 month, with 20-minute sessions. Distinguishing feature: Uses LLMs to dynamically adapt to individual learning needs, enabling on-demand knowledge reinforcement and overcoming spatiotemporal limitations of traditional training.
Standard Public Health Emergency Training ProgramOther
The hospital's existing public health emergency (PHE) training program without AI augmentation. Participants receive:
- Identical core content as the experimental group: Professional knowledge, skills training, and emergency drills for PHE response (e.g., disaster protocols, infection control).
- Explicit restriction: Prohibited from using LLMs or any AI tools for learning support.
- Delivery: Hybrid format (online + offline), 1-month duration, 20-minute sessions.
Distinguishing feature: Represents traditional training methods reliant on instructor-led content without personalized, on-demand AI-driven reinforcement.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| LLM-Assisted PHE Training Group | Other | Participants in this arm receive the routine hospital-based public health emergency (PHE) training program supplemented with Large Language Model (LLM) technology for auxiliary learning. During the 1-month training period, they are instructed and encouraged to use LLMs for:
* Reviewing knowledge covered in training sessions
* Answering questions and clarifying uncertainties
* Exploring unfamiliar concepts related to PHE response (Intervention: Standard PHE curriculum + LLM-enabled interactive learning support) Receives: Other: LLM-Assisted Public Health Emergency Training Program; Other: Standard Public Health Emergency Training Program |
| Standard PHE Training Group | Other | Participants in this arm receive only the routine hospital-based public health emergency (PHE) training program. They are explicitly restricted from using LLMs or any other artificial intelligence tools for assisted learning throughout the 1-month training period.
(Intervention: Standard PHE curriculum without AI augmentation) Receives: Other: Standard Public Health Emergency Training Program |
