Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

Researchers at Izmir Katip Celebi University are testing whether a structured clinical teaching program improves nursing students' motivation, learning strategies, and attitudes toward clinical practice. The study enrolls 137 second-year nursing students who are randomly assigned to either the structured teaching group or a routine teaching group. The structured group takes part in interactive activities such as question-and-answer sessions, microteaching, concept mapping, and structured feedback over a 7-week clinical education period. Students complete questionnaires before and after the intervention to measure changes in motivation, learning strategies, and clinical attitudes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a 7-week structured clinical teaching program combining goal setting, interactive discussions, microteaching, concept mapping, structured feedback, and teach-back
What this could lead to
If it works, nursing programs could adopt this teaching approach to better prepare students for clinical practice, potentially improving how they learn and feel about patient care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-university study of second-year students, so results may not apply to other nursing programs or student populations. The outcomes rely on self-reported questionnaires, which can be influenced by factors outside the teaching method.
