Leveraging Large Language Models (LLM) to Enhance Research Competency Among Undergraduate Nursing Students: A Novel Approach to Research Education
Singapore640 participantsStarted 2025-08-13
Plain-language summary
The goal of this mixed method interventional study is to develop and test the effectiveness of integrating ChatGPT into the nursing research course to improve research competency among third-year undergraduate nursing students. The main questions it aims to answer is:
Will participants who undergo the LLM-integrated curriculum show an increase in research competency and attitudes compared to participants who did not undergo this curriculum.
Researchers will compare a students assessment grades, as well as their research competency and attitude, measured via the Research Competence Scale (R-Comp) and Revised Attitudes Towards Research scale (R-ATR) respectively. Research will determine whether the LLM-integrated curriculum could improve students understanding and attitudes towards research.

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.
1This trial focuses on nursing education and AI tools rather than a medical treatment — can you help me understand whether this study is relevant to my health situation, or is it primarily for nursing students learning research skills?
2Since this trial is 'enrolling by invitation' and targets undergraduate nursing students, is there any way my care team or I could actually be involved, or is this entirely outside the scope of patient participation?
3The study is measuring things like research proposal grades and attitudes toward research — since there are no medical treatments or health outcomes being tested, what would be the direct benefit or risk to me or a family member if we were somehow connected to this trial?
4Given that this is categorized as a non-clinical educational study with no listed phase, how does that affect the usual protections and oversight I'd expect from a medical clinical trial, and is that something worth discussing with you before considering any involvement?
5Are there other trials or programs you're aware of that are more directly focused on my specific health condition, rather than this one which appears to be about AI use in nursing school curricula?

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.
