First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests whether a peer-supported orientation program, including videos made by senior students and guided hospital tours, helps first-year nursing students feel less shocked and more adapted during their first clinical placement. About 90 students will be randomly assigned to either the peer-led program or the usual orientation. Researchers will measure reality shock and clinical adjustment using surveys at two time points.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Peer-supported video and interactive clinical orientation program
What this could lead to
If successful, this program could become a standard way to help nursing students feel more prepared and less overwhelmed during their first clinical placement.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 90 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It measures feelings and adaptation, not health outcomes, so the real-world impact is uncertain.
