Can Team-Based learning help nurses better manage Children's pain?
NCT ID NCT07735299
First seen Jul 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether a cooperative learning technique called the Jigsaw method can boost nursing students' knowledge and attitudes about managing pain in children. About 150 third-year nursing students from two Italian universities will be randomly assigned to either Jigsaw-based learning or traditional lectures. Their skills will be measured before, right after, and one month after the training to see if the interactive approach leads to better outcomes.

- What this could lead to
- If effective, this teaching method could be adopted in nursing schools to better prepare students for managing pain in children.
- What could go wrong
- This is an educational trial with a modest sample size, so results may not apply broadly. The benefit over traditional teaching may be small or absent.
