Nurse training gets personal: study tests learning style grouping
NCT ID NCT07435558
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether putting nurses with similar learning styles together, or mixing them up, helps them learn better in problem-based training sessions. About 78 nurses will take part in workshops on patient safety. Researchers will measure their medication safety skills, clinical reasoning, and care quality right after training and again two months later.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help educators design better training programs for nurses, potentially improving patient safety and care quality.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage educational study with only 78 participants. Results may not apply to other settings or guarantee long-term improvements.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. written informed consent; 2. at least one year of clinical nursing experience; 3. availability to attend all scheduled workshop sessions (no planned extended leave during the intervention period); 4. completion of the Index of Learning Styles (ILS) questionnaire and availability of valid ILS scores for group allocation Exclusion Criteria: 1. attendance in a similar PBL or patient-safety educational program within the previous 6-12 months; 2. significant uncorrectable hearing or vision impairment or severe cognitive/psychiatric condition that precluded participation; 3. concurrent participation in another interventional study likely to affect study outcomes; 4. repeated non-attendance (\>2 missed sessions) or voluntary withdrawal after randomization.
