Simulated NICU scenarios could ease student Nurses' stress and boost confidence
NCT ID NCT07653308
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a short, high-fidelity simulation training for third-year nursing students that mimics a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) scenario. The training includes communication with a new mother, a newborn emergency, and support for breastfeeding. Researchers measure students' stress, learning satisfaction, self-confidence, and overall learning experience before and after the simulation, and also interview them to gather deeper insights.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- NICU scenario-based simulation training
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this training approach could be adopted in nursing schools to better prepare students for stressful neonatal intensive care situations.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-site study with only 18 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It measures short-term effects, not long-term clinical impact.
