NCT ID NCT07441473
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.
