Nursing students get a communication boost: new study tests motivational interviewing
NCT ID NCT07492459
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a special type of communication training, called motivational interviewing, can help nursing students improve their counseling skills and feel more confident talking with patients. The study will involve 72 second-year nursing students, split into two groups: one gets the motivational interviewing training, and the other gets standard communication training. Researchers will measure their skills and confidence before, right after, and a few weeks after the training.
