This study aimed to investigated the impact of Kahoot, ChatGPT, and traditional teaching methods on nursing students' sexual health knowledge and attitudes. This quasi-experimental study was conducted using an online survey of 93 nursing students. Data collection instruments were implemented in three stages: pre-test, post-test, and follow-up test, measuring students' levels of sexual health knowledge and attitudes. The training was conducted over a total of four hours, consisting of two hours per week for each group. Data were collected through tests prepared via Google Forms. After the training, it was observed that students in all three groups found the educational program beneficial and effective. In the follow-up test, students reported an increase in their confidence in managing sexual health-related issues. Statistical analyses indicated that the training delivered through Kahoot and ChatGPT was more effective in improving sexual health knowledge levels. At the same time, traditional education was more effective in improving sexual health attitudes by the end of the first month. The analyses also revealed that the change in students' sexual health knowledge levels did not significantly differ among different educational methods (Kahoot, ChatGPT, and traditional education). Kahoot and ChatGPT educational technologies were effective in improving nursing students' sexual health knowledge levels in repeated measurements. However, when considering the change between measurements, different educational methods had similar effects on sexual health knowledge levels and sexual health attitudes.
