Nursing students level up: Game-Based learning boosts anxiety care skills
NCT ID NCT07442331
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a game-based learning approach helps nursing students better identify unhelpful thinking patterns and improve their communication skills when caring for anxious individuals. About 70 first-year nursing students took part. The goal was to see if playing a specially designed game could make them more effective in real-life patient interactions.
