Author Information
Author(s): Anne White, Mary Beth Maguire, Austin Brown
Primary Institution: Kennesaw State University
Hypothesis
Can an AI-driven virtual simulation improve nursing students' attitudes toward older adults?
Conclusion
Using AI technology in education can effectively improve nursing students' attitudes toward older adults.
Supporting Evidence
- Post-intervention scores increased from pre-intervention scores.
- Qualitative analysis revealed themes of overcoming ageism and increased empathy.
- Students reported enhanced communication skills after the simulation.
Takeaway
This study shows that using computer simulations can help nursing students be nicer and more understanding toward older people.
Methodology
A convergent mixed-method design was used to assess changes in attitudes before and after an AI-driven educational intervention.
Potential Biases
Potential bias due to self-reported data and the non-probabilistic sampling method.
Limitations
The study was limited to a single session and did not explore long-term retention of attitude changes.
Participant Demographics
90% female, with ages primarily between 18 and 34.
