NCT ID NCT06813248
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a 'jigsaw' teaching method helps nursing students learn stroke patient care better than standard lectures. One hundred students will be split into two groups: one learns with the jigsaw technique, the other with usual teaching. Researchers will measure their knowledge and academic confidence to see which approach works best.
