First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a moulage-based silent performance—a theatrical scene with makeup showing a victim of violence—can increase nursing students' awareness of violence against women. 70 first-year nursing students will be randomly assigned to watch the performance or a neutral scene. Researchers will measure changes in attitudes, empathy, and emotional reactions before and after.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Moulage-based silent performance (a theatrical, makeup-based silent scene depicting a victim of violence)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new training method to help healthcare workers better recognize and empathize with victims of violence.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 70 nursing students, so results may not apply to other groups. The effect may be short-lived or not translate to real-world behavior.
