What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests whether a case-based collaborative learning program helps newly graduated intensive care nurses better recognize heart rhythm disturbances (arrhythmias) and improves their attitudes toward patient safety. Novice nurses with less than a year of experience in coronary or cardiovascular surgery ICUs are randomly assigned to either receive the extra training or follow the usual orientation. The training involves two weekly sessions where nurses work through real clinical cases in small groups, discuss ECG tracings, and make shared decisions. Researchers will compare arrhythmia recognition and safety attitudes between the groups at the start and after three months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Case-Based Collaborative Learning-Based Arrhythmia Education
What this could lead to
If effective, this training approach could become a standard way to help new ICU nurses better recognize heart rhythm problems and improve patient safety.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage educational trial, so results may not apply broadly. The benefit may be limited to short-term knowledge gains rather than lasting improvements in patient outcomes.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 72 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Expected to finish

Dec 2026

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
