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.
