Peers as teachers: a new way to train nurses in catheterization?
NCT ID NCT07732088
First seen Jul 28, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial tests whether nursing students learn urinary catheterization better when taught by trained peers using the Gagné Instructional Model, compared to traditional instructor-led demonstration. First-year nursing students with no prior catheterization experience will be randomly assigned to peer-led Gagné training, instructor-led Gagné training, or standard demonstration. Researchers will measure skill performance, knowledge, and self-confidence before and after training to see which method works best.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- peer-led and instructor-led training based on the Gagné Instructional Model
- What this could lead to
- If effective, peer-led Gagné-based training could offer a low-cost, scalable way to teach clinical skills in nursing education.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center trial in first-year students, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is educational, not a drug, so impact is limited to teaching methods.
