Web-Based training may boost nursing Students' End-of-Life care skills — a trial puts it to the test
NCT ID NCT07737028
First seen Jul 30, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial tests whether a web-based educational program can improve nursing students' confidence, knowledge, and attitudes toward end-of-life and post-mortem care. Fourth-year nursing students will either take the online course or continue with standard training. Researchers will measure changes in self-efficacy, death literacy, and views on dignified death using questionnaires before and after the program.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- a web-based educational program covering end-of-life and post-mortem care
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this program could offer a scalable, accessible way to better prepare nursing students for end-of-life care, potentially improving patient dignity and care quality.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center trial with 74 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is educational, so direct patient benefits are indirect and uncertain.
