First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This pilot study tested a nurse-led educational program for people with psoriasis. Twenty-four participants received extra education sessions over six weeks, alongside standard care. The goal was to see if the program was feasible and could improve disease knowledge, self-management, and quality of life. Results will help design a larger future trial.
