Can a Two-Week campus program build resilience in teens?
NCT ID NCT07823881
First seen Sep 16, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are testing whether a two-week campus-based program helps high school seniors build psychological resilience and make career decisions as they prepare for higher education. The program includes academic orientation, social activities, and hands-on workshops led by nurses. Eighty seniors in Mardin, Turkey, take part, with half joining the program and half receiving no intervention. The study measures changes in resilience and career decision-making difficulties using standard questionnaires.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a two-week nurse-led campus transition program with orientation, social activities, and workshops
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could give schools a practical, low-cost way to help students handle the stress and uncertainty of moving from high school to higher education.
- What could go wrong
- The study is small and does not randomly assign participants, so any improvements may reflect pre-existing differences between groups rather than the program itself. Results from one region of Turkey may not apply elsewhere.
