About this study
Official title: The Effect of an Artificial Intelligence-Based Branching Path Simulation for First Aid Education on Nursing Students' Knowledge, Satisfaction, and Motivation: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Rapid advancements in educational technology are necessitating a renewal of teaching approaches in nursing education. Artificial intelligence-based branching-path simulations, which allow students to make choices at decision points and see the outcome of their choices through instant feedback, are emerging as a new teaching tool that can facilitate students' active participation in clinical decision-making processes.
Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of an AI-based branching-path simulation on nursing students' level of knowledge regarding first aid for injuries, course satisfaction, and learning motivation.
Methods: This study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial. The study was completed at the nursing department of a public university with the participation of 164 first-year nursing students (intervention group n=84, control group n=80). Students in the intervention group were administered an AI-based branching-path simulation consisting of three modules-penetrating abdominal injury, head trauma, and penetrating chest injury-following the first aid course for injuries, while students in the control group were trained using traditional question-and-answer and case discussion methods at the end of the same course. Data were collected using a student information form, a knowledge test developed by the researchers, and a course content evaluation form.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
First aid knowledge
First aid knowledge levels were evaluated using a knowledge test. Developed by researchers based on first aid course content for injuries, this test consists of 10 multiple-choice questions with four options each. Each question is worth 10 points, and the test is scored out of 100 points.
Measured: "Immediately after course" and "two weeks later"
Learning motivation
Assessed using the Course Content Evaluation Form (0-10 numeric rating scale), designed to evaluate the first aid course and educational material used. Instructions specified that ratings reflected the material/method, not the instructor.
Measured: Immediately after course
Learner satisfaction
