NCT ID NCT07519239
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether a four-week structured forensic nursing education program can improve the skills of pediatric nurses in managing forensic cases. Sixty nurses from pediatric clinics, emergency rooms, and intensive care units will be randomly assigned to either receive the training or continue as usual. Their forensic competency will be measured before, right after, and three months after the training.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Forensic nursing education program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better training programs that help pediatric nurses recognize and manage forensic cases more effectively.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The training may not lead to lasting improvements in real-world practice.
