Physiotherapy students’ acceptance of AI-based chatbots (including ChatGPT) in education: a multi-institutional study from Turkey
Physiotherapy students expressed cautious optimism toward AI-based chatbots such as ChatGPT. Acceptance was higher among students with greater technology interest and, to a lesser extent, in advanced study years. These findings support stage-sensitive integration and targeted AI literacy, emphasizing ethical awareness and source verification for safe and effective learning.
