Summary
This study tests whether a mobile app, based on a bioethical decision-making model, can improve ethical decision-making and sensitivity in nursing students. 90 fourth-year nursing students will be randomly assigned to use the app or do face-to-face case analysis. Researchers will measure changes using standard tests before, after, and during follow-up.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, scalable way to improve ethical skills in nursing education.
What could go wrong
