Summary
This study tests a three-month programme designed to help nurses transition into first-line manager roles at a Spanish hospital. The programme includes classes, online modules, mentorship, and reflective writing. Twenty-two nurses will participate, and researchers will measure changes in their leadership skills and the programme's feasibility.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Comprehensive Transition Programme (CTP) - a behavioural intervention combining classroom training, online learning, mentorship, and reflective practice
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this programme could provide a proven way to help new nurse managers feel more confident and effective in their roles.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small pilot study with only 22 participants and no comparison group, so results may not apply broadly. The programme may not show clear benefits or may need major adjustments.
