Brief summary
Background: Rapid advancements in educational technology are necessitating a renewal of teaching approaches in nursing education. Artificial intelligence-based branching-path simulations, which allow students to make choices at decision points and see the outcome of their choices through instant feedback, are emerging as a new teaching tool that can facilitate students' active participation in clinical decision-making processes. Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of an AI-based branching-path simulation on nursing students' level of knowledge regarding first aid for injuries, course satisfaction, and learning motivation. Methods: This study was conducted as a randomized controlled trial. The study was completed at the nursing department of a public university with the participation of 164 first-year nursing students (intervention group n=84, control group n=80). Students in the intervention group were administered an AI-based branching-path simulation consisting of three modules-penetrating abdominal injury, head trauma, and penetrating chest injury-following the first aid course for injuries, while students in the control group were trained using traditional question-and-answer and case discussion methods at the end of the same course. Data were collected using a student information form, a knowledge test developed by the researchers, and a course content evaluation form.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| First aid knowledge | "Immediately after course" and "two weeks later" | First aid knowledge levels were evaluated using a knowledge test. Developed by researchers based on first aid course content for injuries, this test consists of 10 multiple-choice questions with four options each. Each question is worth 10 points, and the test is scored out of 100 points. |
| Learning motivation | Immediately after course | Assessed using the Course Content Evaluation Form (0-10 numeric rating scale), designed to evaluate the first aid course and educational material used. Instructions specified that ratings reflected the material/method, not the instructor. |
| Learner satisfaction | Immediately after course | Assessed using the Course Content Evaluation Form (0-10 numeric rating scale), designed to evaluate the first aid course and educational material used. Instructions specified that ratings reflected the material/method, not the instructor. |
