Nanotech training for nurses: a test of knowledge and innovation
NCT ID NCT07795775
First seen Aug 31, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether an 8-week educational program on health nanotechnology can improve nursing interns' knowledge and their readiness to innovate. About 356 nursing interns at Mansoura University will take a pretest, attend the program, and then take a posttest two months later. The program covers nanotechnology basics and its uses in healthcare and nursing. Researchers will measure changes in knowledge and innovation readiness to see if the training has an effect.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- An 8-week educational program on health nanotechnology, including interactive lectures and case-based discussions
- What this could lead to
- If the program works, it could become a model for teaching nanotechnology in nursing schools, helping future nurses adopt new health technologies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-site study with no control group, so improvements might stem from other factors. The program's long-term impact on actual nursing practice remains untested.
