NCT ID NCT07078864
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test a computer-based decision support system designed to help nurses in pediatric intensive care units make better care decisions. Thirty-five experienced nurses will use the system after training, and their decision-making skills will be measured before and after using it. The study also collects nurses' opinions about the system through interviews. The goal is to see if this tool can support nurses in their daily work.
