NCT07471152
This study aims to evaluate the effect of a Virtual Reality (VR)-based relaxation intervention on perceived stress, anxiety, and fatigue levels among intensive care unit (ICU) nurses. The ICU environment is characterized by high-intensity workloads and emotional demands, which often lead to increased psychological and physical strain on nursing staff
NCT07380685
Clinical nurses are frequently exposed to high emotional demands due to heavy workloads, time pressure, patient suffering, and the interpersonal complexity of clinical care. These stressors may contribute to compassion fatigue, burnout, reduced resilience, and decreased occupational well-being. However, timely and accessible psychological support is often limited in busy clinical environments, and many nurses may hesitate to seek help due to stigma, time constraints, or limited resources. This study is a prospective, randomized, controlled, parallel-group interventional trial designed to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of an on-demand, human-centered emotional support intervention delivered through a LINE-based GPT assistant. The AI assistant provides real-time supportive conversations, reflective prompts, stress-coping guidance, and resilience-enhancing strategies tailored specifically for clinical nurses, offering a private and easily accessible support resource. Eligible clinical nurses (target sample size: 100-120) are randomly assigned to either an Intervention Group, which interacts with the AI assistant, or a Control Group, which receives non-interactive static messages, over a four-week intervention period. Primary outcomes include changes in compassion fatigue, burnout, and compassion satisfaction, as measured by the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL). Secondary outcomes include changes in resilience (Brief Resilience Scale), general self-efficacy (General Self-Efficacy Scale), and perceived stress (Perceived Stress Scale-10). The results of this study are expected to provide evidence on the feasibility and potential effectiveness of AI-based emotional support as a scalable and accessible tool to promote psychological well-being among clinical nurses, thereby informing future digital mental health interventions in healthcare settings.
NCT07406750
Sepsis is a serious condition where the body's immune response to infection overreacts, leading to organ damage and death. Venous congestion, a buildup of blood in the veins, can occur in sepsis and contribute to organ injury. VExUS (Venous Excess Ultrasound Score) is an ultrasound method that can detect congestion early. This study examines whether ICU nurses, after training, can perform VExUS reliably, explores their experiences, and investigates links between VExUS findings and clinical outcomes.
NCT07364097
The goal of the trial is to learn if a strategy to eliminate audible alarm noise in intensive care and high dependency units can reduce overall noise levels, patient delirium, staff alarm fatigue, and staff burnout. Researchers will implement a silent alarm strategy in specific care units for four weeks and compare this to a separate 4 weeks where a silent strategy is not implemented. Noise, burnout, delirium levels, and staff alarm response times will be compared between the silent and non-silent units.
NCT06947837
The goal of this observational study is to through the combination of longitudinal qualitative research and longitudinal quantitative research, the work experience changes of nurses returning to work after delivery were analyzed, and the changing trajectory and influencing mechanism of work involvement of nurses returning to work after delivery were explored.On this basis, combined with the existing literature, the promotion strategy of post-natal nurses' work involvement was constructed in order to improve the level of post-natal nurses' work involvement, help them better adapt to clinical nursing work, and improve the quality of nursing service.

NCT07243431
This study checks how well nurses at Mansoura University Children's Hospital know about high-alert medications (HAMs). These are drugs that can cause serious harm if given incorrectly. We used a questionnaire to assess their knowledge and identify any gaps. The goal is to improve training and reduce medication errors in the hospital.
NCT06840873
Long COVID can cause a decline in cardiorespiratory fitness, resulting in fatigue and negative impacts on individuals' quality of life (QoL), particularly in nurses who play a crucial role in public health. Combining with reduced cardiorespiratory fitness and suffering from a spectrum of long-COVID symptoms might substantially exaggertate fatigue, perceived stress, and reduce willingness to work for hospital nurses. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of tele-rehabilitative exercise on fatigue, perceived stress, symptom severity of long COVID, and QoL in this population.
NCT07128407
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of a Protection Motivation Theory (PMT)-based radiation protection training program on nurses' knowledge, awareness, motivation, and safety behaviors. The study includes 54 operating room nurses randomly assigned to experimental (n=27) and control (n=27) groups. The intervention targets both threat appraisal (perceived severity and vulnerability) and coping appraisal (response efficacy, self-efficacy, and response cost) processes. It is hypothesized that PMT-based training will improve nurses' radiation protection knowledge, increase awareness, strengthen motivation, and enhance safety behaviors. The findings are expected to contribute to nursing curricula, institutional radiation safety policies, and the development of a safety culture in healthcare settings.
NCT07061392
The goal of this randomized controlled trial was to determine whether stoma-care training using standardized patients, as compared with low-fidelity mannequins, improved meaningful learning self-awareness, perceived learning, and practical stoma-care skill levels in oncology nurses at a 600-bed tertiary oncology education and research hospital in Ankara, Turkey. The main questions it aimed to answer were: Did standardized-patient simulation produce greater gains in meaningful learning self-awareness? Did it yield higher perceived learning scores? Did it result in larger improvements in stoma-care skill levels? Researchers compared Group M (standardized patient) to Group K (low-fidelity mannequin) to evaluate which method more effectively enhanced nurses' cognitive and technical outcomes. Participants completed a 10-item demographic and background survey, answered pre-training assessments on all three scales, attended a two-hour didactic session on stoma fundamentals and evidence-based care, received two hours of hands-on practice with their assigned modality, and completed immediate post-training assessments using the same instruments.

Palliative care is a complex concept in nursing that needs special education and training. However, it is not focused and under-recognized discipline and the same is consistent with nursing students. In Pakistan, conventional teaching methods in nursing have been dominating all over. These methods are insufficient to meet the evolving needs of palliative care education. Hence, it is vital to explore new innovate approaches for palliative care education. Therefore, the goal of this clinical trial is to test a palliative care training program and its impact on experiential learning among senior student Nurses. The study compares the palliative care training through 5 step pedagogical method versus traditional method. Researchers will compare palliative care training program through 5-step pedagogical framework to 2-step conventional method to see is 5-step pedagogical framework is more effective in enhancing experiential learning in palliative care among senior nursing students compare to conventional method. The group 1 receives palliative care education through 2-step method in which didactic lecture and Simulation session provided. The group 2 receive palliative care education through a 5-step pedagogy in which expose to lecture, Simulation session, video, clinical and self-directed learning session. After intervention the experiential learning will be assessed based on knowledge, skill, and self-efficacy questionnaire.

This study aims to investigate the impact of a transition shock program on career entrenchment and readiness for interprofessional learning among newly graduated nurses.
NCT07018609
Workplace stress for healthcare workers is at an all-time high and the COVID-19 Pandemic magnified and amplified the impact of stress and burnout on health care workers, especially for frontline staff such as nurses. There are multiple external and individual factors that affect clinician well-being, and organizational factors are an important aspect to address when attempting to mitigate nurse burnout and improve well-being. This project seeks to expand two interventions that were piloted in the last few years since the Covid-19 Pandemic, validated to show improvement in staff well-being and decreased feelings of burnout following the interventions, and are easily implemented to benefit nurses and other multidisciplinary health care workers and students in both the inpatient and outpatient settings.
NCT06938594
The undocumented observation, repeatedly observed in the operating rooms, of discomfort, including fainting, among medical and paramedical novices working in contact with surgical breaches raises questions about the mechanisms put in place to cope with what seems initially unimaginable. Indeed, accounts in the social sciences show that the surgical opening of a living person is, in some ways, a transgressive act, forbidden outside the operating room. By spilling blood, it induces a 'symbolic disorder' described by Mary Douglas, that is contained through ritualized practices, predispositions towards objectification, and injunctions to control affects. The use of surgical drapes allows for the partial erasure of the person being operated on, who is no longer seen as a subject, but as an object of care - a dehumanized body or 'image-object' described by Amandine Klipfel. It is possible that ORNs are gradually adapting to negotiate the reconfiguration of bodies in the operating room, the transgression inherent in the surgical opening of a living person, and the personal resonance this may have for them. The investigator questions the specificities of their profession and their physical, emotional, and cognitive relationships following the initial shock of confronting open bodies. Is it possible to grow accustomed to or adapt to open bodies to the point of no longer experiencing difficulties related to what was once unthinkable? The investigator aims to understand what becomes of these initially unrepresentable experiences and roles ORNs have in redefining the bodies present - the processes of objectification and rehumanization of patients in the operating rooms. This doctoral study grasps the cognitive and imaginary constructions they experience in France and Canada.
NCT06929858
The purpose of this study is to determine if a structured training program in cognitive-behavioral strategies can improve: Self-efficacy: The belief in one's ability to succeed in specific tasks or situations. Sense of coherence: A perception of life as comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful. Psychological ownership: A sense of possession or attachment to one's job or role. These outcomes are critical for nurses working with children with ASD, as their role involves unique emotional and professional challenges. The study will use a rigorous scientific approach to assess the effectiveness of the intervention.
NCT06850012
This study aims to evaluate the effects of an education program based on Meleis's Transition Theory on perceived stress, professional self-efficacy, and social adaptation among migrant Turkish nurses in Germany. The program will provide training and support to help these nurses manage the challenges of adapting to a new professional and social environment. Participants will engage in a series of educational sessions designed to enhance their coping skills, improve their professional confidence, and reduce perceived stress. The results of the study will contribute to the development of strategies to enhance social adaptation in nursing practice, improve healthcare quality, and support the professional development and migration adaptation processes of migrant nurses. This is a randomized controlled experimental study that examines the effects of an education program based on Meleis's Transition Theory on perceived stress, professional self-efficacy, and social adaptation of Turkish migrant nurses who have migrated to Germany to work.
NCT05921032
The goal of this study is to compare the effects of exercise interventions (lumbar stabilisation exercise (LSE) versus lumbar muscles strengthening exercises (LMSE)) on full body mechanics, functional disability outcomes and pain score among female nurses with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNLBP). The main questions are: * What are the differences in full body mechanics, functional disability outcomes and pain score among female nurses with CNLBP? * How exercise intervention affects full body mechanics, functional disability outcomes and pain score among female nurses with CNLBP? Participants will be divided into three groups (lumbar stabilisation exercise (LSE), lumbar muscles strengthening exercises (LMSE) and control group). Exercise intervention group will be asked to perform 8 weeks of exercise intervention with : * 3D kinematics and trunk spinal loads test * Trunk muscle power (extensor) test * Sit-and-reach test * Functional disability (Roland-Morris Low Back Pain and Disability Questionnaire, RMQ) * Pain intensity (Visual analogue scale, VAS) * Endurance of trunk muscle test Meanwhile control group will be given a diary to record their daily activities which consist of their 24 hours diet recall for 8 weeks and involvement of any physical activity throughout the 8 weeks. Researchers will compare between two exercise groups to see if there is any differences in full body mechanics, functional disability outcomes and pain score across different among female nurses with CNLBP.
NCT06733090
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a lung parenchymal tissue infection that develops nosocomially 48-72 hours after the start of mechanical ventilation (8, 15, 17, 23, 31). The second most common nosocomial infection in intensive care units in the United States is VAP (20). Approximately 90% of pneumonias developing in intensive care units are seen in patients receiving mechanical ventilation support, while the risk of VAP development is higher in the first days of hospitalization, and has been reported to be 3%/day in the first 5 days, 2%/day on the following six and ten days, and 1%/day on subsequent days (7, 20, 23,37). The concept of the Bundle of Care was first defined by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement in 2005 (21, 25). The Bundle of Care; It is a set of practices that have been beneficial in terms of clinical improvement, each of which includes 3-5 evidence-based, preventive interventions that contribute to the quality of care (5, 21, 25, 26, 30). There are studies in the literature showing that the use of the Care Bundle for the development of VAP reduces the rate of VAP development (5, 30, 34, 29, 28). Evidence-based practices frequently recommended in the literature within the scope of the VAP Care Bundle are; giving the patient a semi-fowler position (sitting at a 30-45 degree angle), evaluating daily extubation, evaluating daily sedation, peptic ulcer prophylaxis unless contraindicated, and deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis (15, 21, 23, 26, 28, 30). Health Care Improvement Institute; recommends washing hands before and after patient contact, removing subglottic secretions, and not changing ventilator circuits earlier than 48 hours (19, 21, 32, 33). In addition to evidence-based practices, the Institute for Health Care Improvement recommends that oral intubation be preferred to nasotracheal intubation, endotracheal tube cuff pressure should be between 20-30 cmH2O, enteral feeding should be initiated within 24-48 hours for hemodynamically stable intensive care patients, oral care should be performed with an antiseptic solution at 2-12 hour intervals, including teeth, cheeks, and tongue, monitoring humidifier filters and irrigation solutions, and aspiration should be performed under appropriate conditions. These interventions are considered evidence-based (1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 22, 23, 26, 33). The evidence-based Care Bundle Interventions to be implemented by the researcher within the scope of this study are listed below. Interventions to be implemented by the nurse's decision include; Oral care with 0.12% chlorhexidine glucanate or 0.2% chlorhexidine glucanate solution, 4 times a day, at 6-hour intervals, semi-fowler position (sitting at a 30-45 degree angle) unless contraindicated, monitoring the endotracheal tube cuff pressure to be between 20-30 cmH2O, changing ventilator circuits and humidifier filters in case of visible contamination or malfunction, and monitoring the aspiration application. Interventions to be implemented by the physician's decision include; includes daily extubation assessment, peptic ulcer prophylaxis unless contraindicated, deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis unless contraindicated.
