Summary

This study asks whether a creative drama program can improve nursing students' reflective thinking and clinical decision-making skills. Fourth-year nursing students are randomly assigned to either the drama-based training or standard case discussions. Researchers measure changes in thinking and decision-making scores before and after the sessions, and interview some students to understand their experience.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: Creative drama-based education program
What this could lead to: If effective, creative drama could become a new teaching method to sharpen nursing students' thinking and decision-making skills before they enter clinical practice.
What could go wrong: This is a small, single-center study, so results may not apply broadly. The outcome depends on how well the drama sessions translate into real-world clinical judgment.
