What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

Researchers at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital are studying whether an interactive web-based training platform improves how gerontology students handle dementia care decisions. The study first interviews second-year students about the challenges they face when caring for people with dementia. Then students use the platform, which teaches through scenario-based modules covering decision branches, situational judgment, and care plan development. The team measures changes in students' competency in helping with daily activities, managing behavioral problems, and supporting family caregivers.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
an interactive web-based dementia care decision support training platform
What this could lead to
If the platform helps, it could give nursing and gerontology programs a practical way to train students in dementia care decision-making before they graduate.
What could go wrong
This is a small single-arm study with no comparison group, so improvements may reflect practice or confidence rather than the platform itself. Results in one student cohort may not carry over to other programs or real care settings.

Participants

About 130 people

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

Expected to start

Oct 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

Jul 2027

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.
