Can Web-Based training replace live actors to teach fall prevention?
NCT ID NCT07557082
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test whether nursing students learn fall risk assessment better with a live actor (standard patient) or a web-based simulation. About 120 first-year nursing students will take part, and their knowledge and skills will be measured before and after training. The goal is to find the most effective way to teach patient safety.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- simulation training (standard patient and web-based)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show which simulation method better prepares nursing students to prevent patient falls, improving hospital safety.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage educational study with 120 students at one university. Results may not apply to other settings or directly reduce fall rates.
