Summary

This study tested whether a 10-week psychodrama program could improve empathy, self-compassion, and psychological well-being in 40 nursing students. Half took part in group role-playing sessions, while the other half continued normal activities. Researchers measured changes using several questionnaires before, after, and two months later.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
psychodrama group therapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, non-drug way to boost mental health and empathy in university students.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to all students. The control group got no intervention, which can exaggerate benefits.
