简要总结
This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effects of ChatGPT-supported metacognitive feedback on nursing students' metacognitive awareness and self-regulated learning during clinical nursing practice. A total of 140 fourth-year nursing students will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to an intervention group or a control group. Students in the intervention group will receive structured ChatGPT-supported metacognitive feedback based on reflective learning prompts, while students in the control group will continue routine clinical education and receive traditional verbal and written feedback from clinical instructors. Data will be collected before and after the intervention using a demographic information form, the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory, and the Self-Regulated Learning Scale in Clinical Nursing Practice. The study is designed as a pretest-posttest parallel-group randomized controlled trial.

盲法说明
Participants and researchers delivering the educational intervention will not be blinded because of the nature of the intervention. However, the independent statistician performing the final statistical analyses will be blinded to group allocation. Intervention and control groups will be coded as Group A and Group B, and the allocation code will not be disclosed to the statistician until the primary analyses have been completed.

研究组 & 干预措施
ChatGPT-Supported Metacognitive Feedback
Participants in this arm will receive ChatGPT-supported metacognitive feedback during clinical nursing practice. Students will prepare brief reflective texts about their learning processes, and these reflections will be evaluated through a structured metacognitive feedback framework using ChatGPT. The feedback will focus on planning, monitoring, and evaluating learning strategies and will not provide clinical decisions, treatment recommendations, or judgments about the correctness of patient care.
干预措施: ChatGPT-Supported Metacognitive Feedback (Behavioral)
Routine Clinical Education
Participants in this arm will continue routine clinical nursing education. They will prepare patient education plans as part of their usual clinical practice and will receive traditional verbal and written feedback from clinical instructors and faculty members. No ChatGPT-supported metacognitive feedback will be provided during the study period.
干预措施: Routine Clinical Education and Traditional Feedback (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Change in Metacognitive Awareness
时间窗: Baseline and immediately after the 6-week intervention
Metacognitive awareness will be assessed using the Metacognitive Awareness Inventory. The inventory evaluates metacognitive knowledge and metacognitive regulation. Higher scores indicate higher levels of metacognitive awareness. Changes in scores from baseline to post-intervention will be compared between the intervention and control groups.
Change in Self-Regulated Learning in Clinical Nursing Practice
时间窗: Baseline and immediately after the 6-week intervention
Self-regulated learning will be assessed using the Self-Regulated Learning Scale in Clinical Nursing Practice. The 16-item scale includes motivation and learning strategies domains. Higher scores indicate higher levels of self-regulated learning. Changes in scores from baseline to post-intervention will be compared between the intervention and control groups.
