NCT ID NCT06976450
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a mobile app called ChemoNurs, designed to help oncology nurses learn about chemotherapy drugs. Fifty-nine nurses from one hospital in Turkey used the app, and researchers measured changes in their knowledge and attitudes. The goal was to see if a simple smartphone tool could improve how nurses handle chemotherapy.
