Background: Self-directed, lifelong learning is essential for nurses' competence in complex healthcare environments, which are characterised by rapid advancements in medicine and technology and nursing shortages. Previous studies have demonstrated that ChatGPT technology fosters self-directed learning by motivating users to engage with it.
Objectives: To explore the relationships amongst socio-demographic data, attitudes towards ChatGPT use, and self-directed learning amongst registered nurses in Taiwan.
Methods: A cross-sectional study design with an online survey was adopted. Registered nurses from various healthcare settings were recruited through Facebook and LINE, a widely used messaging application in East Asia, reaching over 1000 nurses across five distinct online groups. An online survey was used to collect data, including socio-demographic characteristics, attitudes towards ChatGPT use, and a self-directed learning scale. Data were analysed using descriptive statistical methods, t-tests, Pearson's correlation, one-way analysis of variance, and multiple linear regression analysis.
Results: Amongst the 330 participants, 50.6% worked in hospitals, 51.8% had more than 15 years of work experience, and 78.2% did not hold supervisory positions. Of the participants, 46.7% had used ChatGPT. For all nurses, work experience and awareness of ChatGPT statistically significantly predicted self-directed learning, explaining 32.0% of the variance. For those familiar with ChatGPT, work experience in nursing and the technological/social influence of ChatGPT statistically significantly predicted self-directed learning, explaining 35.3% of the variance.
Conclusions: Work experience in nursing provides critical opportunities for professional development and training. Therefore, ChatGPT-supported self-directed learning should be customised for degrees of experience to optimise continuous education.
Implications For Nursing Management And Health Policy: This study explores nurses' diverse use of and attitudes towards ChatGPT for self-directed learning. It suggests that administrators customise support and training when incorporating ChatGPT into professional development, accounting for nurses' varied experiences to enhance learning outcomes.
Patient Or Public Contribution: No patient or public contribution.
Reporting Method: This study adhered to the relevant cross-sectional STROBE guidelines.

Pathology found during cadaveric dissection has been used to model integrative teaching methods for medical students at several institutions. Recent evidence has shown that pathology found during dissection can be used in the design of self-directed learning (SDL) activities with standards that are difficult to meet. This study presents a novel method for providing formative feedback, one of the most challenging aspects for LCME accreditation of SDL activities.

Informal education via social media plays a crucial role in modern learning, offering self-directed and community-driven opportunities to gain knowledge, skills, and attitudes beyond traditional educational settings. These platforms provide access to a broad range of learning materials, such as tutorials, blogs, forums, and interactive content, making education more accessible and tailored to individual interests and needs. However, challenges like information overload and the spread of misinformation highlight the importance of digital literacy in ensuring users can critically evaluate the credibility of information.
