Overview

Feasibility study finds GenAI podcasts enhance evidence-based practice skills in nursing students, suggesting development potential.

Key Points

  • Assess the feasibility of GenAI-assisted research podcasts in nursing curricula to enhance research literacy.
  • Nonrandomised pre-post study conducted in two entry-to-practice nursing programs at one Australian university.
  • Weekly podcast episodes were released as supplementary resources for students.
  • Students completed the Student Evidence-Based Practice Questionnaire at the start and end of the semester.
  • 91% of post-survey respondents listened to at least one podcast episode (M=4.8, SD=2.80).
  • Post-sample scores increased by 0.29 points (95% CI −0.01 to 0.59; p=0.062) with a significant improvement in the skills subdomain of 0.44 points (95% CI 0.09 to 0.79; p=0.013).
  • Greater engagement with podcasts was associated with higher total scores (r=0.39; p<0.001).
