NCT ID NCT07370558
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study surveys 184 surgical nurses at a Turkish hospital to see how often they use evidence-based nursing care, what gets in the way, and what helps. The goal is to find out what barriers and supports matter most so hospitals can design better training and policies. No treatments or medications are involved—just questionnaires.
