Effect of GenAI Patient Simulation on Clinical Preparedness and Clinical Competence in Nursing Students

3 settembre 2026 aggiornato da: The University of Hong Kong

Effectiveness of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) Patient Simulation on Preparedness for Clinical Practicum and Clinical Competence Among Undergraduate Nursing Students: A Waitlist Randomized Controlled Trial and Mixed-methods Study

The transition from theoretical knowledge to clinical practice is a critical and challenging phase for nursing students. Limited opportunities for scenario-based learning before an clinical practicum impacts students' preparedness for practice and clinical competence. Consequently, this lack of preparation directly fuels stress, creating a a negative feedback loop where this stress inhibits cognitive processing and effective learning. Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has emerged as a novel educational technology capable of providing interactive, flexible, and learner-centred simulation experiences.

This waitlist randomised controlled trial aims to examine the effectiveness of incorporating the GenAI patient simulation in preparing the undergraduate nursing students for clinical practicum and enhancing the clinical competence compared to the current practice. Hypotheses of this study include:

  1. Participants using the GenAI patient simulation will report higher preparedness for the first acute clinical practicum (CP) and higher clinical competence scores compared to the usual practice group at all time points.
  2. The frequency of using the GenAI patient simulation will be positively correlated with preparedness for the CP and clinical competence.
  3. Participants using the GenAI patient simulation will report lower perceived stress before and during the CP compared to the usual practice group.
  4. The frequency of using of the GenAI patient simulation will negatively correlate with the levels of perceived stress before and during the CP.

Descrizione dettagliata

Clinical practicum represents a critical transition point in undergraduate nursing education. Although pre-practicum workshops are commonly provided, students continue to experience difficulties in applying theoretical knowledge during the clinical practicum in acute care settings. A substantial gap often exists between the workshop and the start of clinical practicum, during which opportunities for ongoing learning, reinforcement of knowledge, and practice through virtual clinical scenarios are limited. GenAI patient simulation provide additional opportunities for experiential learning, deliberate practice, and self-directed preparation before clinical exposure.

The intervention of this study is a GenAI Patient Simulation Platform.

Participants in the intervention group will receive the pre-practicum workshop as usual followed by a two-phase GenAI patient simulation intervention:

Phase 1 - a 2-hour facilitated face-to-face simulation exercise session using the scenarios in the GenAI platform.

Phase 2 - a self-initiated, wall-free GenAI patient simulation scenario package. Participants is allowed to access the platform and do the exercises before and during clinical practicum.

Participants in the waitlist control group will receive the same intervention after completion of the study.

A total of forty-four undergraduate nursing students will be recruited and randomly assigned to intervention group and waitlist control group with 1:1 allocation ratio. Participants will be fully informed about the interventions, benefits and risks of the study. Participation is entirely voluntary, and individuals may withdraw at any time without penalty.

Baseline data will be collected before randomisation (T0). All participants will complete the questionnaires immediately after Phase 1 (T1), 2 weeks prior to the clinical practicum (T2), and within 1 week after completion of the clinical practicum (T3). Participants in the intervention group will be invited to join a semi-structured interview by the end of the study.
