Drama class fights phone addiction in future nurses
NCT ID NCT07454928
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a creative drama workshop could make nursing students more aware of their technology habits. 110 students took part, and researchers measured their technology addiction levels before and after the workshop. A smaller group also shared their thoughts in interviews. The goal was to see if this hands-on, arts-based approach could help young adults use technology more mindfully.
