NCT ID NCT07438340

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a simulation using trained actors (standardized patients) can improve nursing students' skills in managing aggressive patients. Fifty-six students will be randomly assigned to either the simulation training or standard education. Researchers will measure changes in how students perceive aggression and what they feel they learned.

Active substance

Standardized patient simulation based on the De-Escalation Model

What this could lead to

If successful, this could improve how nursing students handle aggressive patients, leading to better care and safer clinical environments.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 56 participants. Results may not apply broadly, and the training's real-world impact remains unproven.
