New study tests High-Tech training to help nurses catch vein infections early
NCT ID NCT07512986
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two modern teaching methods—simulation with actors and video-based learning—against traditional lectures to see which best helps nursing students recognize phlebitis (a painful vein inflammation from IVs) and make better clinical decisions. About 90 first-year nursing students will take part. The goal is to improve patient safety by training future nurses more effectively.
