Description
Cho and colleagues built and piloted in 2026 an artificial intelligence virtual simulation program that trains nursing students in safe drug giving for children. Dosing for children is error-prone, and practice with real patients is limited. The program was built on a four-stage learning cycle of experience, reflection, concept building, and active trial. In South Korea, 48 third-year students were split into program and control groups of 24 each.
Cho found the program group improved clearly in medication safety skill compared with controls, based on pre- and post-program scores. Two other measures, confidence in dose calculation and learning immersion, did not differ between groups. The mental load reported by program students fell over the course, which suggests the task grew easier to handle. The authors back wider use in children's nursing courses, with more tailoring to each learner.
