NCT ID NCT07367906
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a digital microlearning program—short, scenario-based online modules—could improve patient-safety awareness and error recognition in nursing students before they start surgical clinical practice. Ninety second-year nursing students were randomly assigned to receive the microlearning program plus standard education or standard education alone. Researchers measured changes in safety awareness, error recognition, decision-making under stress, and confidence at several time points.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Digital microlearning program (short, scenario-based online modules)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to better prepare nursing students for safe surgical practice.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study in one university with 90 students, so results may not apply broadly. It tested education, not a treatment.
