New study tests better ways to train nurses in catheter placement
NCT ID NCT07474181
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will compare two simulation-based training methods for nursing students learning to insert urinary catheters in male patients. One group will use a hybrid simulation with a wearable catheter model and a role-playing patient, while the other uses a standard partial task trainer. Researchers will measure students' knowledge, practical skills, satisfaction, and confidence. The goal is to find which method better prepares students for real clinical situations.
