The Effect of a Generative AI-Based Teaching Strategy on Building Students' Competency

Abstract

Background: Assessment of the initial medical history data for pregnant women is an essential component of nursing training. Therefore, understanding clinical patient characteristics is crucial for developing students' ability to independently manage and care for pregnant women and to prepare students for entry into clinical practice.

Method: This study used a quasiexperimental pre- and posttest design. The generative artificial intelligence-based patient character creation (GAI-PCC) teaching strategy was used for the experimental group, and the conventional creating personas teaching strategy was used for the control group.

Results: The findings indicated the GAI-PCC teaching strategy significantly improved students' training. Therefore, it is recommended that this teaching strategy be implemented as an innovative scheme in nursing.

Conclusion: The GAI-PCC teaching strategy has a strong influence on nursing students' maternal care education. Nursing scholars should consciously integrate appropriate generative AI technology and teaching strategies to enhance students' patient care abilities. [J Nurs Educ. 2025;64(6):346-355.].
