First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether motivational interviewing, a type of counseling that boosts inner motivation, can help nursing students feel less anxious and more confident about their clinical practice. 66 first-year nursing students took part in a randomized trial. The goal was to see if this approach improves their attitudes, reduces anxiety, and increases self-efficacy.
