Subclaims¶

q3 i3 Nursing students demonstrated a significant and homogeneous benefit of GenAI for clinical skills (SMD = 0.98, 95%CI 0.66 to 1.29, P < 0.0001, I² = 0%, n = 110). → Xie Guanli 2026 q3 i? The overall pooled effect combining both subgroups was statistically significant (P = 0.005), indicating the effect of GenAI on clinical skills differed between clinical medicine and nursing students. → Xie Guanli 2026

q3 · i3 · quant-synthesis · r3

Subgroup meta-analysis of 2 studies (n = 110 nursing students) pooling clinical skills outcomes, showing a moderate-to-large homogeneous effect (SMD = 0.98, I² = 0%). The same section reports the overall pooled effect was significant (P = 0.005), indicating a difference between majors.

"nursing students demonstrated a significant and homogeneous benefit of GenAI for clinical skills, with a moderate effect size (SMD = 0.98, 95% CI: 0.66 to 1.29, P < 0.0001, I² = 0%; 2 studies, n = 110)"
