NCT ID NCT07631234
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will compare two teaching methods for first-year nursing students learning how to examine the heart and lungs. One group will practice on a manikin (simulation), while the other will practice with trained actors (standardized patients). Researchers will measure students' knowledge, skills, confidence, and anxiety before and after training to see which method works better.
