Summary
This study tested whether a mix of online lessons and hands-on simulation suits could help nursing students feel more empathy for people with Parkinson's disease. 84 third-year nursing students took part, with one group using special suits that mimic Parkinson's symptoms in a home-like setting. The goal was to see if this training improves understanding and compassion compared to standard classes.
