NCT ID NCT05625906
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a multi-media training program helps nurses in hospitals improve their skills in advance care planning (ACP) — conversations about future medical wishes. 230 registered nurses with at least two years of experience took part. Some received the training, while others did not. The goal was to see if the program boosts nurses' decision-support skills, knowledge, and confidence.
