NCT ID NCT07378696
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a leadership program called LOCI helps nurses and their managers use the latest research in everyday care. About 300 nurses and managers from psychiatric and elder care units in Finland will take part. The program includes training and mentoring to improve how evidence-based practices—like suicide prevention and malnutrition care—are adopted. Researchers will measure if the program is useful and if it leads to better patient care.
