AI image e-books enhance pediatric nursing students' self-efficacy in managing children's medical fears. This approach proves more effective than traditional methods for improving therapeutic communication and student preparedness.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Pediatric Psychology
- Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
Background:
- Pediatric nursing students require training to manage psychological stress and effectively communicate with sick children.
- Understanding children's emotional responses to illness and medical procedures is crucial for effective nursing care.
- Traditional teaching methods may not adequately prepare students for the psychological demands of pediatric nursing.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of AI image health education e-books compared to traditional handouts in improving nursing students' self-efficacy.
- To assess the impact of AI-driven educational tools on students' ability to manage pediatric patients' fears related to medical examinations and treatments.
- To determine if AI e-books enhance students' skills in using therapeutic games for pediatric patient care.
Main Methods:
- A quasi-experimental study design was employed.
- Nursing students were divided into groups using either AI image e-books or traditional paper handouts.
- The study measured changes in nursing students' self-efficacy in managing sick children's fears using therapeutic games.
Main Results:
- AI image health education e-books significantly improved nursing students' self-efficacy compared to traditional paper handouts (p < 0.05).
- The AI e-book group demonstrated enhanced ability in using therapeutic games to address children's fears of medical procedures.
- AI-driven personalized learning materials showed potential for improved knowledge retention and skill development.
Conclusions:
- AI image e-books are a more effective teaching tool than traditional handouts for enhancing pediatric nursing students' self-efficacy.
- AI-driven educational tools can personalize learning experiences, leading to better-prepared healthcare professionals.
- Integrating AI in nursing education can improve students' competence in addressing the psychological needs of pediatric patients.
