NCT ID NCT06711484

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a two-day training program designed to help newly graduated nurses speak up about patient safety concerns. 76 nurses from a hospital in Ankara, Turkey, were split into two groups: one received the training, the other did not. Researchers measured changes in communication skills, attitudes toward medical errors, and willingness to speak up. The goal is to see if such training can improve safety and reduce mistakes in hospitals.
