Construction and Application of Intelligent Nursing Learning System

We applied the intelligent nursing learning system (INLS) to enhance core competencies. Sophomore students majoring in nursing were grouped into the control and treatment groups. Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle Theory was used to construct the intelligent nursing assessment system. Core competencies were assessed by the Competency Inventory of Nursing Students. Mean scores were 3.47 (standard deviation (SD)=0.97) and 3.45 (SD=0.65) in the first and second pretest. Core competencies did not show significant differences between the first and the second pretest before the intervention. After the intelligent nursing assessment, participants earned a mean score of 5.23 (SD=0.74) in the posttest with a significant increase. Core competencies for the students were improved significantly after implementing the intelligent nursing assessment learning system. Students scored the highest score in the subscales of ethics and the lowest score in Basic biomedical science. The INLS was effective in helping students cultivate core competencies.
