A New Trend in Nursing Education; Example of Artificial Intelligence, ChatGPT

ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence language model developed based on a large database. When the use of ChatGPT in nursing education is evaluated, several important factors emerge. ChatGPT assists in reinforcing theoretical knowledge, can provide students with structured training opportunities in laboratory practices by creating checklists, and saves time by offering prompt responses. However, there are disadvantages such as limited reality and a deficiency in clinical application. ChatGPT cannot provide a real patient experience and has limitations in its clinical use. Using ChatGPT in assignments may lead to issues concerning citation, copyright, and ethics. In addition, concerns may arise regarding the protection of patient privacy and confidentiality. Therefore, potential problems arising from the program’s use should be discussed with students, and critical thinking should be encouraged. This review is prepared with the aim of examining the advantages and disadvantages of using ChatGPT in nursing education.
