About this trial

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using a chatbot to improve mental health and reduce stress among nursing students during their internships. The study will be conducted through convenient sampling of nursing students from a technology university in southern Taiwan. Students will be divided into experimental and control groups to compare differences in mental health and stress levels after receiving support from the chatbot. Expected outcomes include gaining a better understanding of the fundamental characteristics of nursing students and their mental health and stress levels during internships. The results are expected to demonstrate that the chatbot can aid nursing students in handling typical internship issues, stress, and challenges, as well as in accessing mental health resources.

The chatbot is expected to provide self-help solutions and multiple counseling resources for stress and distress, options for face-to-face or online call requests, and a survey on mental health and stress. In terms of keywords, it will establish counseling response resources and methods for finding resources for special sensitive situations (e.g., feeling moody, suicidal, stressed, not wanting to intern, etc.).
