Can online modules make future nurses safer? a trial puts blended learning to the test
NCT ID NCT07736755
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether adding online learning activities to standard classroom teaching improves patient safety competence and self-confidence in first-year nursing and midwifery students. Participants receive either face-to-face instruction alone or a blend of classroom sessions plus online case scenarios, articles, and summaries. The goal is to see if the blended approach better prepares students to prevent errors and provide safer care.
