What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

Summary

This trial tests whether a simulation-based training program, using actors portraying patients with bipolar disorder, can improve therapeutic communication, empathy, and self-efficacy in mental health nursing students. Half of the 70 participants will receive the simulation training alongside their regular coursework, while the other half follows the standard curriculum. The study measures communication skills, empathy, and confidence before and after the training to see if the hands-on approach 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
Simulation-based educational intervention using standardized patients and bipolar disorder case studies, guided by Jean Watson's Theory of Human Caring
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could become a standard teaching method to better prepare nursing students for real-world mental health care, improving patient interactions.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial with 70 students, so results may not apply broadly. The outcome depends on how well the simulation translates to real clinical practice.
