ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring whether a chatbot can help nursing students improve their mental health and reduce stress during their internships. The study will involve nursing students from a university in southern Taiwan, who will be divided into two groups: one group will use the chatbot for support, while the other will not. By comparing the mental health and stress levels of both groups after the trial, researchers hope to see if the chatbot makes a positive difference in how nursing students cope with the challenges of their internships.

To be eligible for this study, students need to be enrolled in a four-year nursing program and be scheduled for clinical internships. They also need to be willing to participate in the study. However, students who are only partially completing their internships or cannot follow the study’s guidelines will not be included. Participants can expect to receive support from the chatbot, which aims to help them manage typical internship stresses and provide access to mental health resources. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it offers a promising approach to support nursing students during a demanding time in their education.
