Can a creative workshop make better nurses?
NCT ID NCT06673316
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tested whether a 3-hour design thinking workshop could help nursing students improve their problem-solving, creativity, empathy, and teamwork. Twenty-nine undergraduate nursing students at the Chinese University of Hong Kong took part. The goal is to see if this approach can make future nurses more patient-centered and innovative.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

- design thinking workshop
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new way to teach nursing students to be more creative and patient-focused.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study with only 29 students, so results may not apply broadly. It also measures skills through questionnaires, not real-world patient outcomes.
