NCT ID NCT07150741
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a 4-week program combining ergonomic training with exercise can reduce pain, improve sleep quality, and lower anxiety in nursing students. Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to either the program or standard curriculum. The goal is to see if these strategies can be integrated into nursing education to support student well-being.
