NCT ID NCT07674849
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether concept map-based reflective learning helps first-year nursing students better understand peripheral intravenous catheterization. Sixty-six students are randomly assigned to standard teaching or standard teaching plus creating concept maps about IV insertion. Researchers compare knowledge test scores between the two groups to see if the concept map approach improves learning.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Concept map-based reflective learning
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this teaching method could improve how nursing students learn clinical skills, potentially leading to better patient care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study with 66 students, so results may not apply broadly. The benefit over standard teaching may be small or not significant.
