NCT ID NCT07575048
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether virtual reality-based assertiveness training can strengthen communication skills in oncology nurses. Sixty nurses working in oncology clinics for at least six months will participate. The training includes sessions on assertiveness techniques, handling criticism, and saying no. Researchers will measure changes in assertiveness, burnout, and emotional expression using standard questionnaires.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- virtual reality-based assertiveness training
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new, effective way to train oncology nurses in communication skills, potentially reducing burnout and improving patient care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The training's effectiveness depends on nurse engagement and may not translate to real-world improvements.
