About this study
Official title: The Effect of Two Different Generative AI Tools on Nursing Students' Patient Counseling Skills and Motivation Regarding Instructional Materials: A Randomized Controlled Study
The goal of this parallel-group randomized controlled trial is to compare the effects of two different generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools (a video/audio interactive AI avatar versus a written AI learning assistant (chatbot)) on patient counseling skills self-assessment levels and instructional materials motivation in undergraduate nursing students.
The main questions it aims to answer are:

- Is there a difference in health services counseling skills self-assessment scores between nursing students using an interactive AI avatar and those using a written AI chatbot?
- Is there a difference in instructional materials motivation scores between nursing students using an interactive AI avatar and those using a written AI chatbot? Researchers will compare Intervention Group 1 (students interacting asynchronously with a video and audio interactive AI avatar) to Intervention Group 2 (students interacting asynchronously with a written AI chatbot) to see if the AI interaction channel (video/audio avatar vs. text chatbot) significantly impacts student counseling self-efficacy and learning motivation.
Participants will:
- Complete baseline pre-test questionnaires, including a Demographic Information Form, the Generative Artificial Intelligence Usage and Competence Scale, and the Counseling Skills Self-Assessment Scale.
- Conduct patient education and counseling practice over at least 2 to 3 asynchronous sessions using their assigned AI tool on a standardized clinical case scenario.
- Complete post-intervention questionnaires, including the Counseling Skills Self-Assessment Scale, the Instructional Materials Motivation Scale, and an Application Feedback Form.
- Conditions
- Artifical Intelligence, Generative Artificial Intelligence, Counseling, Education, Nursing, Motivation
- Being tested
- Interactive AI Avatar Simulation, Written AI Chatbot Simulation
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Interactive AI Avatar SimulationOther
Students engage in virtual patient education and counseling simulation using a video/audio interactive AI avatar trained on a standardized nursing clinical case scenario. The simulation is completed asynchronously across at least 2 to 3 practice sessions. The intervention aims to develop students' health counseling self-efficacy and learning motivation.
Written AI Chatbot SimulationOther
Students engage in virtual patient education and counseling simulation using a text-based AI chatbot trained on the same standardized nursing clinical case scenario and learning objectives. The simulation is completed asynchronously across at least 2 to 3 practice sessions. The intervention aims to develop students' health counseling self-efficacy and learning motivation.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in Counseling Skills Self-Assessment Score
Evaluated using the Self-Assessment Scale for Counselling Skills in Health Services. The scale consists of 44 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 ("Strongly Disagree") to 5 ("Strongly Agree"). It encompasses three subscales: Communication Skills (items 1-10), Professionalism (items 11-25), and Counseling Application Skills (items 26-44). Total scores range from 44 to 220, with higher scores reflecting higher self-assessed levels of counseling competence in healthcare services.
Measured: Baseline (Pre-intervention) and Post-Intervention (upon completion of 2 to 3 asynchronous practice sessions, within a 15-week academic period)
Instructional Materials Motivation Score
Evaluated using the Instructional Materials Motivation Survey. The scale is a single-dimensional 14-item instrument scored on a 5-point Likert scale. Higher overall or mean scores indicate higher positive motivation toward the specific generative AI instructional tool utilized during the intervention.
Measured: Post-Intervention (upon completion of 2 to 3 asynchronous practice sessions, within a 15-week academic period)
Secondary outcomes (1)
User Application Feedback Score
It is aimed to assess students' subjective evaluations, user experience, and overall satisfaction with the assigned AI instructional tool.
Measured: Post-Intervention (upon completion of 2 to 3 asynchronous practice sessions, within a 15-week academic period)

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in Counseling Skills Self-Assessment Score (time frame: Baseline (Pre-intervention) and Post-Intervention (upon completion of 2 to 3 asynchronous practice sessions, within a 15-week academic period)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Nov 2026.
