Chatbot Effectiveness for Improving Mental Health and Reducing Stress in Nursing Students

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.
