Nursing students level up: digital game teaches infection prevention
NCT ID NCT07423702
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a digital game can teach nursing students how to prevent surgical site infections better than traditional lectures. About 88 second-year nursing students will take part. Researchers will measure their knowledge before, right after, and 8 weeks after the training to see which method works best.
