Simulation training boosts nursing Students' ECG skills?
NCT ID NCT07533838
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether hands-on simulation training helps nursing students learn to read ECGs better than digital games. 31 nursing students were split into two groups: one received simulation training, the other used web-based games. Their ECG knowledge was tested before, after, and four weeks later to see which method worked best.
