Exploring Medical Students' Perceptions Regarding ChatGPT and AI Studying at the University of Niš: A Study on Usage, Attitudes, and Linguistic Influence-Single-Centered Study in Serbia-A Paradoxical Ally?

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objectives: The primary objective of the study was to analyze the extent of ChatGPT usage and students' attitudes about ChatGPT. The secondary objective is to examine the potential underlying structure of students' perceptions about this AI tool in academic settings. Additionally, the focus on students studying in Serbian and English may shed light on the cultural and linguistic influence of technology implementation in educational settings. Methods: This descriptive study investigated how medical students perceive the application of ChatGPT in educational settings using a 3-part questionnaire: a demographic section collecting participants' overall experience and perceptions of ChatGPT, and a section collecting students' attitudes toward artificial intelligence who did not use ChatGPT. Results: In the survey, there were 1212 students (1037 students in the Serbian and 175 students in the English language). Almost four-fifths of students have heard of ChatGPT (79.4%), but less than half of students have used ChatGPT (42.2%). Principal component analysis revealed 4 components: Positive Perception and Usefulness, Negative Impacts and Risks, ChatGPT Usability and Improvement, and Interaction and Communication Challenges items. Discussion: A positive attitude was prevalent in our population; however, students were also aware of the limitations of ChatGPT, which were recognized as potential academic dishonesty and a risk of job loss. There were significant differences in students' agreement with various statements across 3 components among students studying Serbian and English, implying a possible role of linguistic barriers in AI responses. Therefore, using ChatGPT to promote education and healthcare should be done ethically and responsibly, considering the possible improvements in AI tools and the risks and issues they raise.
