Mind over matter: can thinking about it help med students master IVs?

NCT ID NCT06932822

Summary

This study looked at whether a mental practice technique could help medical students get better at inserting IV catheters. Researchers had 96 fifth-year medical students practice the procedure on a training mannequin. They tested if students who first imagined performing the steps successfully were more likely to get it right on their first real try.
