NCT ID NCT07656402
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a role model-based ethics course could reduce moral injury and stress in 101 second-year medical students in Taiwan. Students chose between a standard version with stories and handouts, or an enhanced version with extra writing and guest speakers. Researchers measured changes in moral injury, stress, and resilience before and after the course. The goal is to find better ways to support medical students' mental health early in their training.
