New teaching method boosts nursing Students' skills, study finds
NCT ID NCT07364994
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a teaching method called Team-Based Learning (TBL) helps nursing students better understand and use evidence-based practice (using research to guide patient care). 131 second-year nursing students took part in a 12-hour course using TBL, which included individual study and group work. They filled out a questionnaire before and after the course to measure their knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The goal was to see if this teaching approach improves their competence in using research in their future nursing work.
