Development and Evaluation of a Large Language Model - Based Training Program for Nurses in Public Health Emergencies

China204 participantsStarted 2024-10-01

Plain-language summary

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: 1. Does LLM-assisted training improve nurses' comprehensive emergency response capabilities in PHEs? 2. 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.

Inclusion Criteria: * Holds a valid nursing professional qualification certificate； * ≤5 years of nursing work experience； * Voluntarily agrees to participate in the training program。 Exclusion Criteria: * Inability to complete the 1-month training program (e.g., planned leave, transfer, or resignation during the study period) * Prior experience using Large Language Models (LLMs) for professional training (to avoid confounding effects) * Refusal to comply with group assignment protocols (e.g., control group participants attempting to use LLMs)

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
