First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study will test whether a virtual training program helps cardiology nurses in Finnish hospitals improve their ability to interpret ECG (heart rhythm) readings. About 508 nurses will be split into two groups: one will use the online training, the other will not. The training includes animations and simulations based on real patient cases. Researchers will measure skill changes using a questionnaire.
