NCT ID NCT07235241
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether a specially designed digital game can help nursing students become more ethically sensitive and better at making ethical decisions. Sixty fourth-year nursing students who have already passed an ethics course will play the game over four weeks, covering one ethical principle each week. Researchers will measure changes in their ethical sensitivity and decision-making using standard questionnaires.
