Attitudes and Usage of ChatGPT Among Medical and Paramedical Students in Iran: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background and Aims: ChatGPT, an AI-powered conversational tool, has shown potential to transform healthcare education. However, its integration poses challenges regarding usability, ethics, and critical thinking. Understanding students' attitudes and usage patterns is vital for successful adoption. The aim of this study was to translate and psychometrically validate the TAME-ChatGPT (Technology Acceptance Model Edited to Assess ChatGPT Adoption) tool into Persian and to evaluate the attitudes and usage of this technology among medical and paramedical students at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (MUMS). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted over 2 months (December 21, 2024-February 21, 2025) at MUMS. A TAM-based questionnaire was administered to 246 students. The instrument was validated through forward-backward translation, content validity (CVI = 0.90), exploratory factor analysis, and reliability testing (Cronbach's alpha = 0.82-0.88). Data analysis, performed using SPSS 27, included Chi-square, Mann-Whitney U, and regression analyses. Thematic analysis was applied to qualitative responses. Results: A total of 246 students participated (response rate: 100%). Among participants, 86.6% were aware of ChatGPT, and 65.5% reported prior usage. Awareness and usage were both significantly higher among male students ( Conclusions: Students had positive attitudes toward ChatGPT's usability and potential. Addressing ethical concerns and critical thinking is essential. Tailored training and policies are required for responsible integration in healthcare education.
