Senior buddies boost confidence in new nursing students
NCT ID NCT07198178
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether pairing first-year nursing students with experienced fourth-year peers during their first hospital practice reduces stress and improves clinical readiness. About 92 students participated, with half receiving peer support and half not. Researchers measured stress and readiness before and after the 10-day practice period to see if the peer support made a difference.
