IRCT20260904070913N1 IRCT 2026-09-21 Islamic Azad University The impact of artificial intelligence on creativity and stress reduction The impact of artificial intelligence on creativity and stress reduction among students 2026-10-01 anticipated 30 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/93080 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Double blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Education/Guidance, Randomization description: In this study, a simple randomization method is used to assign participants to two experimental and control groups. The randomization unit in this study is the students of Islamic Azad University, Izeh Branch, who are eligible to enter the study. First, a complete list of volunteers who have been selected based on the study entry criteria is prepared. Then, each participant is assigned a unique numerical identification code. These codes are entered into the Random Number Generator software and a random number is generated for each individual. After generating these numbers, the participants are sorted in ascending order based on the value of the random number. Then, the individuals are assigned to two groups; sequentially, the first 15 people on the list are assigned to the experimental group (training and intervention based on artificial intelligence) and the next 15 people are assigned to the control group. With this method, the order of entry into the study and the researcher's knowledge of the participants will not play any role in determining the group. To conceal allocation, the person responsible for entering data and performing the randomization process in the software will be independent of the intervention administrators and research evaluators (measurers of creativity and stress variables) and will not have the opportunity to know the process of implementing the sessions or changes in the allocation of individuals. Also, the identification codes of the participants will be kept confidential and separate from their other personal information. Therefore, it will not be possible to predict the allocated group for each participant before the randomization process, Blinding description: In order to control bias and improve the internal validity of the research, this study was designed with a double-blind protocol; in this way, the intervention implementers, outcome assessor, and data analyst will be kept unaware of the allocation of students of Islamic Azad University, Izeh Branch to the experimental and control groups. In this process, the outcome assessor will collect data (evaluate creativity and stress variables) in all stages of pre-test, post-test, and follow-up, without knowing the assigned group of the participants, in order to prevent bias in the measurement; also, all raw data will be provided to the statistical analyst with anonymous codes (such as groups 1 and 2), and the true nature of the groups will not be revealed until the end of the data analysis process. All allocation steps will be performed by an independent person from the research team, and decoding of allocation codes will be done only after the final completion of the statistical analyses. N/A Stress in students. Intervention 1: Intervention group: AI-based training sessions will be implemented in the form of a specific training program. The sessions of this intervention will be conducted in 8 90-minute sessions (one session per week) in a group for the experimental group in the statistics course. AI-based training is an approach that aims to reduce anxiety and academic stress, and develop problem-solving skills and creative thinking through interaction with intelligent analytical tools, helping students manage their reactions to the computational and conceptual challenges of statistics courses by replacing traditional and anxiety-provoking learning patterns with interactive and personalized learning. This approach has main educational axes that lead to the promotion of creativity and improvement of statistical skills; These axes include: familiarization with AI tools and language models in data analysis, explanation of how to write precise prompts to understand complex statistical concepts, training in the use of AI to visualize and analyze statistical data, training in idea generation techniques and creative solution of statistical problems with the help of smart tools, management and reduction of stress in solving mathematical and statistical problems through immediate feedback from AI tools, error detection and interpretation of statistical outputs guided by AI, identification of challenges and ethical and critical application of AI in learning, and finally consolidation and summarization of skills learned in statistics lessons. The main emphasis of this intervention is to reduce computational stress and fear of statistics when faced with complex data and replace it with creative, exploratory, and problem-solving approaches based on new technologies. Intervention 2: Control group: They do not receive any intervention or treatment. No - There is not a plan to make this available Justification or reason for not sharing IPD is Participant data is completely confidential and I do not intend to publish it.
