What this could lead to: If successful, this could show that role-playing is a better way to teach nursing students about epilepsy, potentially improving patient care.
What could go wrong: This is a small, completed study in two Chinese universities, so results may not apply to other settings. It measures short-term learning, not real-world patient outcomes.
