Can a group project approach make nursing students better at psychosocial care?
NCT ID NCT07737002
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates whether a teaching method called Sequential Case Triangle-Based Project-Based Learning helps nursing students improve their psychosocial care competency, teamwork, and clinical reasoning. Over a 15-week course, fourth-year nursing students work in groups, each handling a different stage of a patient case through role-play videos. Researchers compare students' self-assessed skills before and after the course to see if the method leads to improvement.
