What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested a group-based reverse OSCE method to teach mechanical ventilation to 70 nursing students. Half learned through interactive stations, the other half through traditional lectures. Researchers measured knowledge and skills before and after to see which approach worked better.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Group-based reverse OSCE educational intervention
What this could lead to
If successful, this teaching method could improve how nursing students learn mechanical ventilation skills, potentially leading to better patient care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center educational study with 70 participants. Results may not apply to other settings or student groups.
