The Effect of Two Different Generative AI Tools on Nursing Students' Patient Counseling Skills and Motivation Regarding Instructional Materials

The goal of this parallel-group randomized controlled trial is to compare the effects of two different generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools (a video/audio interactive AI avatar versus a written AI learning assistant (chatbot)) on patient counseling skills self-assessment levels and instructional materials motivation in undergraduate nursing students. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is there a difference in health services counseling skills self-assessment scores between nursing students using an interactive AI avatar and those using a written AI chatbot? * Is there a difference in instructional materials motivation scores between nursing students using an interactive AI avatar and those using a written AI chatbot? Researchers will compare Intervention Group 1 (students interacting asynchronously with a video and audio interactive AI avatar) to Intervention Group 2 (students interacting asynchronously with a written AI chatbot) to see if the AI interaction channel (video/audio avatar vs. text chatbot) significantly impacts student counseling self-efficacy and learning motivation. Participants will: * Complete baseline pre-test questionnaires, including a Demographic Information Form, the Generative Artificial Intelligence Usage and Competence Scale, and the Counseling Skills Self-Assessment Scale. * Conduct patient education and counseling practice over at least 2 to 3 asynchronous sessions using their assigned AI tool on a standardized clinical case scenario. * Complete post-intervention questionnaires, including the Counseling Skills Self-Assessment Scale, the Instructional Materials Motivation Scale, and an Application Feedback Form.

Inclusion Criteria: * Being enrolled as a 2nd-year undergraduate nursing student * Possessing appropriate technological equipment (e.g., smartphone, tablet, or personal computer) capable of accessing and running the study's generative artificial intelligence tools * Voluntarily agreeing to participate in the study Exclusion Criteria: * Prior experience with the specific AI tools developed or utilized in this study * Concurrent participation in another research study involving AI-supported teaching or learning strategies * Requesting to withdraw from the study at any point during the intervention period
