Aim: This experimental study aims to investigate the impact of an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based orientation program on the clinical orientation process of nursing students during their pediatric nursing clinical practice.Materials and Methods: The study population will consist of 186 third-year nursing students enrolled in the spring semester at a state university. The sample will include 90 students (45 intervention, 45 control) who meet the study criteria and volunteer to participate. Students in the intervention group will receive an AI-based clinical orientation program, while the control group will receive no additional intervention beyond the standard faculty and hospital orientation. Data will be collected between February and March 2026 using a "Descriptive Information Form," the "Clinical Adaptation Scale for Student Nurses," and the "Therapeutic Communication Skills Scale for Nursing Students" in a pre-test/post-test design.Statistical Analysis: Data will be analyzed using SPSS 25.0. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation) will be used. Normality will be assessed via Kolmogorov-Smirnov/Shapiro-Wilk tests. For group comparisons, Chi-square, ANOVA, independent samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U, and Wilcoxon tests will be utilized. The statistical significance level will be set at $p \< 0.05$.Ethical Considerations: Ethical committee approval and necessary permissions from scale authors will be obtained before the study begins. Informed consent will be collected from all participants after explaining the study objectives.Keywords: Orientation training, nursing, student, artificial intelligence, clinical practice.
