Flipped classrooms for nurse leaders: a new way to empower care teams?
NCT ID NCT07774767
First seen Aug 19, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tests whether a 12-week flipped-learning program can help nurse leaders in long-term care facilities become more empowering. The program combines online videos with face-to-face group sessions, and is compared to a conventional brochure. Researchers will look at effects on leaders' behaviors, staff burnout and satisfaction, and resident well-being. The goal is to see if this training approach can improve the work environment and care quality in aged care settings.
