Nursing students practice safety with simulated patients
NCT ID NCT07471737
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether first-year nursing students can learn about patient safety and medical errors better by practicing with simulated patients (actors) instead of just mannequins. About 62 students will be split into two groups: one practices with simulated patients, the other with low-tech mannequins. Researchers will measure their knowledge, skills, and confidence before, right after, and six weeks after training.
