Brief Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of artificial intelligence-assisted discharge education on mothers of children hospitalized with bronchitis/bronchiolitis. A total of 162 mothers will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: AI-assisted written discharge education, AI-assisted video discharge education, or routine discharge education. The primary outcome will be mothers' knowledge of home care after discharge. Secondary outcomes will include anxiety, readiness for hospital discharge, and satisfaction with discharge education. The study hypothesizes that AI-assisted written and video discharge education will improve mothers' knowledge and readiness for discharge, reduce anxiety, and increase satisfaction compared with routine discharge education.

Conditions

Bronchiolitis; Bronchitis

Keywords

Artificial Intelligence; Mothers; Patient Education; Readiness for Hospital Discharge; Health Education

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in Maternal Knowledge Score Regarding Home Care After Discharge

  Maternal knowledge will be assessed using a 10-item true/false knowledge test developed according to the content of the discharge education. Each correct answer is scored as 1 and each incorrect answer as 0, yielding a total score ranging from 0 to 10. Higher scores indicate greater knowledge.

  Baseline before randomization and at hospital discharge, during the same hospitalization.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Change in Readiness for Hospital Discharge

  Baseline before randomization and at hospital discharge, during the same hospitalization

• Change in Maternal Anxiety Level

  Baseline before randomization and at hospital discharge, during the same hospitalization.

• Maternal Satisfaction With Discharge Education

  At hospital discharge, during the same hospitalization.

Study Arms (3)

AI-Assisted Written Discharge Education

EXPERIMENTAL

Mothers will receive AI-assisted written discharge education on home care after discharge for children with bronchitis/bronchiolitis. After completion of the posttest, routine discharge education will be provided before hospital discharge.

Behavioral: AI-Assisted Written Discharge Education

AI-Assisted Video Discharge Education

EXPERIMENTAL

Mothers will receive AI-assisted video discharge education covering the same learning objectives as the written education. After completion of the posttest, routine discharge education will be provided before hospital discharge.

Behavioral: AI-Assisted Video Discharge Education

Routine Discharge Education

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Mothers will receive the institution's routine discharge education before the posttest.

Behavioral: Routine Discharge Education

Interventions

AI-Assisted Written Discharge Education BEHAVIORAL

A written discharge education booklet developed with support from ChatGPT based on standard discharge content and expert review.

AI-Assisted Written Discharge Education

AI-Assisted Video Discharge Education BEHAVIORAL

A video discharge education intervention developed with support from Gemini Notebook and designed to cover the same learning objectives as the written material.

AI-Assisted Video Discharge Education

Routine Discharge Education BEHAVIORAL

Standard discharge education routinely provided by the institution.

Routine Discharge Education
