Three good things a day keeps burnout away? new study tests simple mental health boost
NCT ID NCT07337200
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a simple daily exercise—writing down three good things that happened each day for a week—can improve gratitude and psychological well-being in nursing students. About 277 first- and second-year nursing students will be randomly assigned to either do the exercise or not, and some will also complete surveys before and after. The goal is to see if this easy habit can help prevent stress and burnout in a high-pressure field.
