Summary

This study tests whether a 4-hour online training session can improve the self-efficacy of nurses who care for patients receiving palliative care. The training covers pain management strategies and is delivered via Zoom in four 50-minute blocks. Researchers will measure changes in nurses' confidence using a questionnaire before and after the training.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Pain management training (online educational intervention)
What this could lead to
If effective, this training could be used to boost nurses' skills and confidence in managing pain for people receiving palliative care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-group study without a control group, so results may not be generalizable. The training's impact on actual patient outcomes is not measured.
