- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that structured training improves nurses' skills in abortion care, potentially leading to better patient outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It measures practice changes, not direct patient health improvements.
