Summary

This study tested whether creative drama-based forgiveness education could help nursing students deal with difficult patient encounters. Eighty fourth-year nursing students were split into two groups: one received drama-based training, the other case-based learning. Both groups attended four sessions totaling 200 minutes. Researchers measured changes in forgiveness of others and self-forgiveness before and after the training.
