Art therapy for nurses: a new way to fight stigma in newborn care?
NCT ID NCT06410287
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested whether an online art-based training could reduce stigma that nurses may hold toward mothers who use substances during pregnancy. 99 registered nurses from labor, postpartum, and NICU units completed the training and surveys. The goal was to see if the training was feasible and if it could improve nurses' attitudes, with the hope of leading to better care for babies with neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome.
