Current Trends in Nursing II01:30

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
Nursing Implementation01:15

Nursing Implementation

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.
Nursing Evaluation01:15

Nursing Evaluation

The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation01:25

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation

Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time for...

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data from the...
Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice01:30

Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice

Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

Summary

Undergraduate nursing students anticipate that large language model-based virtual patients (LLM-VPs) can enhance communication training by offering practice and feedback. However, their educational value requires validation and careful integration into nursing curricula.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
  • Communication Skills Training

Background:

  • Traditional nursing communication training faces limitations in authenticity and practice opportunities.
  • Large language model-based virtual patients (LLM-VPs) present a novel approach to address these limitations.
  • Limited research exists on student perceptions of LLM-VPs in nursing education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore undergraduate nursing students' anticipated perceptions of LLM-VPs for communication training.
  • To identify functional needs, acceptance, and potential risks associated with LLM-VP integration.
  • To gather preliminary evidence for incorporating LLM-VPs into nursing education.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive qualitative design utilizing semi-structured interviews with 15 undergraduate nursing students.
  • Data collection and analysis were performed concurrently until theoretical saturation.
  • Thematic analysis, aided by NVivo 14 software, was employed for data interpretation.

Main Results:

  • Four themes emerged: educational gaps, system design requirements, trust mechanisms, and perceived risks.
  • Students expressed cautiously optimistic expectations for LLM-VPs.
  • Diverse functional expectations were articulated to align LLM-VPs with nursing-specific learning needs.

Conclusions:

  • LLM-VPs show practical appeal and potential utility for nursing communication education from a student perspective.
  • The educational value of LLM-VPs is conditional and requires validation through real-world studies.
  • Students view LLM-VPs as supplementary tools for practice and feedback, not replacements for clinical encounters.
