Abstract

Chat GBT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer)-4, one of the fourth generation of artificial intelligence technologies, is a language model that generates written text using deep learning techniques. Chat GBT-4 can be used for various natural language processing tasks such as language translation, text summarisation and question answering. It is predicted that Chat GBT-4 is used by surgical patients. Many issues regarding the use of Chat GBT-4 are of interest. The study aimed to examine the adequacy of Chat GBT-4-generated responses to reduce anxiety in patients undergoing hip replacement surgery. Firstly, a qualitative interview was conducted with 12 patients who underwent hip surgery to understand their anxiety about the surgery. As a result of the interview, 15 contents related to their concerns about the surgery were determined. The obtained contents were typed into the Chat GBT-4 search engine. The answers generated by Chat GBT-4 about the content were sent to 15 experts in the field. A five-point Likert-type scale was used for the adequacy of the responses in reducing anxiety. Most of the experts (80.1%) stated that the answers to the questions to be asked to the GBT-4 were sufficient to reduce the anxiety of the patient. The remaining part of the experts reported that the answers of GBT-4 were inadequate. According to the results of the study, patients undergoing hip surgery can reduce their anxiety about the surgery by using the Chat GBT-4 search engine. Chat GBT-4 is a model that can be trained and developed. We think that the problems related to inadequacies will be eliminated with the developed versions of the model.
