What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
AI-Assisted Nutrition Education ProgramBehavioural
Participants in the intervention group received a single-session, one-time nutrition education delivered via an AI-based chatbot, administered between the pre-test and post-test assessments. The chatbot provided personalized dietary guidance and nutrition-related information based on participant input. The control group received no intervention during the same period. This design allows comparison of changes in nutrition-related outcomes between the AI chatbot intervention group and the no-intervention control group across the pre- and post-test time points.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| AI group | Experimental | Practiced with AI virtual patients Receives: Behavioral: AI-Assisted Nutrition Education Program |
| Control Group | No intervention | Traditional self-practice methods |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Scores of Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE).
Measured: Attent Objective Structured Clinical Examination about 1 hour, and knowledge test about 30 minutes.
