Nursing students get compassion boost in new study
NCT ID NCT07424131
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a four-week educational program based on the Theory of Planned Behavior could increase cultural sensitivity and compassion in nursing students. A total of 80 students were split into two groups: one received the training, the other did not. The goal was to see if the training helps future nurses better understand and care for people from different backgrounds.
