BACKGROUND: Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is increasingly used in nursing education. Its educational effects in nursing remain uncertain. PURPOSE: To evaluate the effects of using GenAI in teaching nursing. METHODS: PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception to July 2026. Standardized mean differences and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were pooled using random-effects models. Heterogeneity, sensitivity analyses, meta-regression, and small-study effects w…
The gain
A meta-analysis of 17 randomized trials with 1,456 nursing students found generative AI-integrated teaching was linked to higher knowledge scores (SMD 0.53), practice-related scores (SMD 1.25) and teaching satisfaction (SMD 0.58).
What this doesn’t fix
The authors report extreme heterogeneity across trials and sensitivity to individual studies, which limit confidence in the magnitude and reproducibility of the effects; meta-regression findings were exploratory.

Code checks every number above against the review’s text before it is shown. The short labels are an AI model’s reading of that text, so the review’s own sentence sits under each one. A pooled figure is only as strong as the studies behind it. How Truvace uses pooled results

How to check it yourself, without trusting this page
Download any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2733 and hash its canonical field yourself, for example with shasum -a 256. You should get its content_hash. Each version’s text also ends with prev:and the hash of the version before it (version 1 points to 64 zeros). If anyone had changed a single character of any version after it was saved, those hashes wouldn’t line up.
