PATIENT SAFETY

This study compares two types of IV catheters in 104 newborns with congenital syphilis who need 10 days of antibiotics. One group gets a standard short IV placed by a nurse; the other gets a longer IV placed using ultrasound by a specialist team. The goal is to see which type las…

This study looks at whether hands-on simulation training helps nursing students recognize and manage a common IV complication called infiltration (when fluid leaks into surrounding tissue). About 90 first-year nursing students will be split into two groups: one gets simulation tr…

This study looks at whether using actors (simulated patients) helps first-year nursing students learn how to keep patients safe and avoid mistakes. About 62 students will be split into two groups: one practices with actors, the other with simple mannequins. Researchers will measu…

This study looks at whether hands-on simulation training can help final-year nursing students make fewer medical mistakes and improve their attitudes about patient safety. About 81 senior nursing students will take part. The goal is to see if practicing in realistic settings redu…

This study looks at whether an online learning method called Watch-Summarize-Question-Ask (WSQA) can help nursing students better prevent patient falls. Sixty-six nursing students will be split into two groups: one gets standard safety training, the other gets the same training p…

This study tests whether giving doctors feedback and education can help them choose pacemaker and defibrillator leads that are less likely to fail. Researchers will track which leads are used before and after the intervention. The goal is to improve safety for Veterans receiving …

This study looks at two ways to teach nursing students how to assess a patient's risk of falling. About 120 first-year nursing students will either practice with a live actor playing a patient or use a web-based simulation. The goal is to see which method helps them learn better …

This study looks at whether using standard patients and web-based simulations can improve nursing students' knowledge and attitudes about preventing falls. Researchers will measure changes in test scores and attitudes among 81 senior nursing students. The goal is to see if these …

This study watches anesthesia nurses at work during real surgeries to measure how much mental effort they use at different stages. About 50 nurses will fill out short questionnaires after key moments like putting the patient to sleep and waking them up. The goal is to understand …

This study will test a training program where new surgical residents, anesthesia nurses, and operating room nurses practice working together in simulated scenarios. The goal is to see if this team training improves their confidence in teamwork and their readiness to learn togethe…

This study looks at whether a special training program using practice sessions and step-by-step manuals can help operating room nurses in a Cambodian hospital do their jobs better. About 49 nurses will take part, and the researchers will measure their skills, teamwork with doctor…
