Brief Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of an artificial intelligence-driven mobile application on nurses' knowledge and attitudes toward atraumatic care for hospitalized children. Participants, who are pediatric nurses, will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group, using the mobile application, or the control group receiving standard education. The primary outcomes are improvements in nurses' knowledge and attitudes, measured after the intervention. The study seeks to determine whether the mobile application enhances nurses' competence in providing atraumatic care compared to usual training methods.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Nurses' Knowledge about Atraumatic Care

  Change in nurses' knowledge scores regarding atraumatic care for hospitalized children, measured using a validated knowledge questionnaire administered before and after the AI-driven mobile application intervention.

  Pre-test and immediately post-intervention (after completing the mobile application modules).

Study Arms (2)

Nurses Receiving Atraumatic Care Training"

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants receive the AI-driven mobile application containing educational modules on atraumatic care, an interactive AI-based chat for at least three questions per module, module quizzes of 10 AI-generated questions, and a final assessment of 25 questions covering all modules. Completion of each module and quiz is required to advance

Behavioral: Atraumatic Care Training Program

Control group

OTHER

Nurses in this group will continue their routine practice without receiving any additional training, mobile application, or educational program. This group serves as a comparison to evaluate the effect of the AI-driven mobile application on the experimental group. Participants follow standard hospital protocols and provide care as usual, without exposure to the study intervention.

Behavioral: No Intervention / Standard Care

Interventions

Atraumatic Care Training Program BEHAVIORAL

The intervention consisted of an AI-driven mobile application designed to enhance nurses' knowledge and attitudes toward atraumatic care for hospitalized children. The application included educational modules covering principles, benefits, and purposes of atraumatic care. Each module provided AI-generated content and an interactive chat feature, requiring participants to ask at least three questions before unlocking a module-specific quiz. Participants completed all modules over one week, followed by a final assessment of 25 AI-generated questions covering all modules

Nurses Receiving Atraumatic Care Training"

No Intervention / Standard Care BEHAVIORAL

Nurses in this group will continue their routine practice without receiving any additional training, mobile application, or educational program. Participants will provide pediatric care according to standard hospital protocols. This group serves as a comparison to evaluate the effect of the AI-driven mobile application on the experimental group.

Control group
