A training program aims to sharpen nurses' skills in port catheter care
NCT ID NCT07789652
First seen Aug 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a structured training program can improve nurses' knowledge of port catheter care. Nurses from internal medicine and oncology units will receive theoretical and practical training, then take a knowledge test before, right after, and one month later. The goal is to see if the training boosts knowledge and helps it stick over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Port Catheter Care Training, a structured educational program with theoretical and practical sessions on port catheter insertion, maintenance, and nursing responsibilities
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this training could become a standard way to boost nurses' skills in port catheter care, improving patient safety and care quality.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-group study without a comparison group, so results may not apply broadly. Knowledge gains may fade over time, and the trial does not measure patient outcomes.
