IRCT20251223068424N2 IRCT 2026-07-11 Shiraz University of Medical Sciences Comparison of the Effectiveness of an AI-Driven Automated Guidance-Based Educational Intervention versus a Social Network-Based Educational Intervention Comparing the Effectiveness of an AI-Driven Automated Guidance Educational Intervention versus a Social Network-Based Educational Intervention on cellphone addiction and Social relational Quality among Dormitory-Residing Nursing Students 2026-07-26 anticipated 120 Recruiting https://irct.ir/trial/91434 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Not blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Supportive, Randomization description: Sampling method: Nursing students living in the dormitory across various academic semesters will be selected using a table of random numbers and subsequently assigned to one of three groups based on a block randomization scheme (block size of 6) generated by software. To this end, nursing students in semesters 3 through 6 will first be selected, and each will be assigned a number. A table of random numbers will be used to select these individuals. Once an individual is selected, they will be assigned to one of the three groups based on pre-prepared block randomization sequences (block size of 6) contained in sealed envelopes. Allocation Concealment Method After the statistician generates the sequence of random blocks, the sequence is placed in sealed, numbered envelopes. Upon selecting a participant, the research assistant opens the envelopes sequentially to assign the individual to one of the three groups. N/A Students' dormitory. Intervention 1: Intervention group: This study aims to reduce cellphone addiction by using intervetional content generated by an artificial intelligence system (ChatGPT). To ensure intervention consistency and enhance the internal validity of the study, participants do not interact directly with the AI system. Instead, all prompts and AI-generated responses are developed, reviewed, and finalized before the study begins and are provided identically to all participants.The researcher is responsible for designing the intervention, developing standardized prompts, generating and standardizing AI responses, and monitoring the implementation of the intervention. Participants use the pre-prepared materials to select the recommended behavioral strategies and apply them in their daily lives.The intervention is conducted over a four-week period and includes an initial orientation session, provision of a participant manual, implementation of a cellphone addiction reduction program, daily or weekly activity recording, standardized weekly feedback, and monitoring of adherence by the researcher assistant. During the first week, participants select and implement at least three behavioral strategies from a set of pre-designed options, including limiting mobile phone use, disabling unnecessary notifications, scheduling phone-free periods, engaging in alternative non-digital activities, and practicing brief mindfulness exercises.At the end of the fourth week, a post-intervention assessment is conducted to evaluate changes in cellphone addiction. The use of standardized prompts and fixed AI-generated responses for all participants ensures complete standardization of the intervention, eliminates variability associated with dynamic AI responses, and maintains consistency in the content, intensity, and quality of the intervention. Intervention 2: Intervention group: Social network-Based Training Group: The intervention is delivered via a social network accessible in Iran, utilizing a series of MP4 video files designed for micro-teaching. The research team conducts this four-week training program according to a per-established schedule. Each video file lasts between 3 and 10 minutes, ensuring ease of uploading and downloading on the social network. Additionally, the files are designed to be small in size so they can be easily opened on mobile phones with limited storage capacity. Intervention 3: Control group: This group receives no intervention. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: Primary outcomes would be shared. When: Starting 6 months after publication article To whom: People and researchers working in academic institutions Conditions: Data are provided for information only.
