Summary

This trial tests whether asking first-year nursing students to keep a structured reflective journal during clinical practice improves their emotional awareness and belief in their own learning abilities. Over four weeks, one group writes weekly diary entries based on a guided model and receives feedback, while a control group follows standard education. Researchers measure changes using two questionnaires to see if the journaling habit makes a difference.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
reflective journaling based on Gibbs's model
What this could lead to
If it works, reflective journaling could become a simple tool to boost nursing students' self-awareness and academic confidence.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial with a specific student group, so results may not apply broadly. The effect may be modest or hard to separate from normal learning.
