NCT ID NCT07735832
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a group-based emotional management program called REGULA-T can help nursing students cope with stress during their clinical placements. The program includes nine workshop sessions and on-demand individual support. Researchers will compare students who take the program with those who follow the standard curriculum to see if it reduces stress, anxiety, and emotional difficulties.
