Summary

This trial tests whether a one-day bystander intervention program can increase nursing students' confidence, willingness, and actual behavior to help in dating violence situations. About 84 second-year nursing students are randomly assigned to either the full workshop or a brief educational session. Researchers measure changes in bystander efficacy and intent to help right after the training and again two months later, along with real bystander behavior at the two-month mark.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Bystander Intervention Program for Dating Violence (a one-day workshop)
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could become a standard training tool to empower nursing students—and potentially others—to safely intervene in dating violence situations.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial with short follow-up. Results may not generalize to other settings, and the program's long-term impact on actual behavior remains uncertain.
