NCT ID NCT07601984
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a teaching method called World Café, where students learn pharmacology through structured group discussions, similar to a coffee shop conversation. About 890 nursing students took part to see if this approach improved their exam scores and self-directed learning. The goal was to find a more engaging way to teach future nurses about medications.
