Summary

This study tested a teaching tool called CORE, which uses written case scenarios on tablets to help nursing students learn how to assess pain. 88 senior nursing students in Turkey were split into two groups: one used CORE, the other did not. Researchers measured their pain knowledge and attitudes before, right after, and a few weeks later to see if the tool helped them learn and remember better.
