Standardized-patient simulations are effective but limited by high costs and logistical barriers. These constraints reduce the frequency and diversity of simulation experiences.  \nThis study evaluated the feasibility ofAI SimBot, a generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) virtual patient simulation. Guided by Bandura’s social cognitive theory, we examined whether AI SimBot enhanced students’ confidence and readiness to engage in sensitive communication with adolescents. AI SimBot was implemented in a prelicensure public/community health nursing course. Ninety-eight students practiced administering the CRAFFT screening tool with a virtual adolescent patient,“Jordan,” received rubric-based feedback, and submitted reflections. A qualitative descriptive design was used. Analyses focused on two reflection prompts (confidence and authenticity), with three coders independently coding and reaching consensus on themes. Students initially described nervousness but reported marked increases in confidence following the simulation. Themes highlighted the CRAFFT tool as a useful guide, the importance of nonjudgmental approaches, and challenges in adolescent communication. StudentsfoundJordan realistic, citing adolescent language and gradual disclosure, but noted limitations such as absent nonverbal cues, an unrealistically cooperative patient, and occasional technical latency. AI SimBot enhanced nursing students ’perceived confidence and was experienced asan authentic and educationally valuable simulation. GenAI-based virtual patients offer a scalable, cost-effective supplement to standardized-patient encounters, contributing to competency-based education by providing repeated, feedback-rich practice in sensitive, high-stakes communication.  \nKeywords: generative artificial intelligence; virtual-patient simulation; nursing education; therapeutic communication; substance-use screening; confidence  \nCommunication skills are a foundational competency in health professions, serving as the critical bridge between clinical knowledge and quality patient care (Kwame & Petrucka, 2021) . For students, developing effective therapeutic communication is essential before implementing these skills in clinical settings. While traditional simulation methods using standardized patient (SP) actors provide valuable practice opportunities, they face significant barriers, including high costs and logistical challenges, that often restrict the frequency and depth of student experiences.  \nThe AI SimBot project emerged as a response to these constraints, leveraging generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) technology to create a virtual-patient simulation tool. AI SimBot is a generative pretrained transformer (GPT)-based simulation that enables nursing students to engage in realistic audio and text-based conversations with a virtual SP. This GenAI application allows students to practice sensitive communication skills, such as substance-use screening with adolescents, in a safe, accessible environment.  \nUnlike traditional simulations that depend on actor and faculty availability, AI SimBot offers unlimited opportunities for practice and provides immediate, structured feedback based on facultydeveloped rubrics. By harnessing the capabilities of GenAI to create reproducible, standardized experiences, AI SimBot addresses a critical gap in clinical education while complementing tradition","cbCaibsm5y0M0XyP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibsm5y0M0XyP","pdf",340991,24,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Case Study Overview\n# Research Questions\n# Literature Review\n## Communication Simulation in Nursing Education","[{\"question\":\"What problem does AI SimBot target in nursing education?\",\"answer\":\"It addresses the limited frequency and diversity of communication simulation opportunities caused by high cost and logistical barriers in traditional standardized-patient approaches.\"},{\"question\":\"How was AI SimBot implemented and evaluated in the course?\",\"answer\":\"AI SimBot was used in a prelicensure public/community health nursing course where 98 students practiced CRAFFT screening with a virtual adolescent patient and received rubric-based feedback, followed by reflection prompts analyzed thematically.\"},{\"question\":\"What communication-related skills and tools did students practice with the virtual patient?\",\"answer\":\"Students practiced substance-use screening using the CRAFFT screening tool through audio and text-based conversations with the AI virtual patient.\"}]","AI-Powered Simulation: Leveraging Technology to Advance Nursing Communication Skills with AI SimBot | PDF"]
