Can the right teaching method change how nurses view medical mistakes?
NCT ID NCT07822438
First seen Sep 16, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers compare three ways of teaching patient safety to first-year nursing students: Pecha Kucha presentations, realistic clinical scenarios, and traditional lectures. About 98 students at one university take part, and each is randomly assigned to one method. The study measures changes in students' attitudes toward medical errors using a questionnaire before and after the lessons, and also asks how satisfied students were with the teaching.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Patient safety education delivered through Pecha Kucha presentations or clinical scenarios
- What this could lead to
- If one teaching method works better, nursing schools could adopt it to help future nurses respond more openly to medical errors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-school study of first-year students, so results may not apply to other nursing programs or to real clinical practice. Attitudes measured on a questionnaire may not reflect actual behavior.
