NCT07448259
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how an Artificial Intelligence -assisted learning platform affects nurses' ability to calculate medication dosages accurately. Drug calculation is a critical skill in nursing, and errors can significantly impact patient safety. While traditional teaching methods are standard, they may not provide the personalized feedback needed for such a high-stakes task. This study compares two groups of nurses: one group using an Artificial Intelligence-driven software that provides interactive scenarios and real-time guidance, and another group receiving traditional classroom instruction. The researchers aim to determine whether the AI approach leads to: Improved theoretical knowledge of drug calculations. Enhanced clinical decision-making during medication administration. Increased nurses' confidence (self-efficacy) in performing these tasks in real clinical settings. In addition, a qualitative component conducted using focus group discussions to explore participants' acceptance, perceived usefulness, usability, and overall perceptions of the AI-assisted learning platform. This qualitative inquiry provides a deeper insight into nurses' experiences, attitudes toward AI integration in education, and their opinions regarding the effectiveness of the teaching and learning strategies used within the platform.

Malignant fungating wounds (MFWs) affect 5-14% of patients with advanced cancer, making them a common complication in this population. Characterized by symptoms such as foul odor, heavy exudate, bleeding, moderate to severe pain, and infection, MFWs cause significant physical discomfort and pose life-threatening risks while also leading to profound psychosocial issues, including shame and social isolation. These factors severely impact patients' quality of life, with half of those diagnosed surviving only six months on average. However, clinical nursing staff often lack adequate knowledge and skills in managing MFWs, with an average accuracy rate of just 56.5%. Notable deficiencies exist in areas such as wound disinfection, odor control, and wound assessment, directly affecting the quality of patient care and highlighting an urgent need for specialized MFW training. Traditional MFW education often lacks real-life clinical scenarios and hands-on practice, resulting in a gap between learning and application and leaving learners ill-prepared for the complexities of clinical settings. In contrast, augmented reality (AR) technology presents new possibilities for nursing education. AR can create highly simulated clinical environments where learners can safely practice complex clinical skills, enhancing clinical decision-making abilities. The implementation of AR-based training programs provides nursing staff with a more realistic and effective learning experience, allowing them to better address the challenges posed by MFWs and ultimately contributing to improvements in patient care and quality of life.

Electronic training course to help Syrian nurses prevent chronic kidney disease Why are the investigators doing this study? Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common in Syria, yet many nurses have not received up-to-date training on early detection or patient education for risk reduction. The investigators aim to determine whether a brief, phone-friendly online course can improve nurses' knowledge, day-to-day practice, confidence, and satisfaction. What will happen? Registered nurses employed in nephrology, cardiology, or endocrinology units will be invited to participate. Each nurse will complete a short online quiz and questionnaire before the course. Participants will then work through seven brief learning modules (videos, posters, case stories, quizzes) on a phone or computer over four weeks. Two weeks after the final module, participants will repeat the same quiz and questionnaire so the investigators can measure any change. The investigators will also request feedback on course acceptability and suggestions for improvement. Possible benefits If the course proves effective, the investigators plan to offer it to additional nurses across Syria and distribute the materials free of charge. Number of volunteers the investigators plan to enrol 30 nurses (single group; no randomisation). Primary outcome the investigators will measure Change in CKD-prevention knowledge score from baseline to immediately post-course.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of a structured climate-resilient disaster preparedness education program on undergraduate nursing students' knowledge and practical skills. Climate change has intensified the frequency and severity of disasters, increasing the need for health professionals who are trained to respond effectively. Nursing students, as future frontline providers, must be equipped with both theoretical knowledge and hands-on competencies to manage disaster situations that are influenced by climate variability. The study was conducted at Jouf University, Saudi Arabia, using a quasi-experimental design with intervention and control groups. A total of 160 undergraduate nursing students were recruited and randomly assigned at the class level (80 intervention, 80 control). The intervention group participated in a tailored disaster preparedness training program incorporating lectures, interactive workshops, and simulation-based exercises with a focus on climate-resilient responses. The control group continued with their standard nursing curriculum. Outcomes were measured using validated instruments: a disaster preparedness knowledge questionnaire and an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) for disaster management skills. Assessments were conducted at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at a 4-week follow-up to evaluate retention. The primary hypothesis is that students who receive the climate-resilient disaster preparedness education will demonstrate significantly greater improvement in knowledge and skills compared to those in the control group. Findings will provide evidence for integrating climate-resilient disaster preparedness into undergraduate nursing curricula to strengthen health workforce readiness for emerging global health challenges.

Negative attitudes towards mental illnesses are an important problem that negatively affects both the social lives of individuals and the effectiveness of health services. Addressing these prejudices, developing empathy and promoting a patient-centred care approach are key goals that can be achieved through clinical experiences and structured educational programmes for nursing students. This single-centre, single-blind, randomised controlled trial aims to examine the effects of documentaries and psychiatric interviews on nursing students' implicit associations, discriminatory attitudes and empathy skills towards mental illnesses. Within the scope of the study, nursing students working in a psychiatric ward will be divided into two groups: one group will work with documentaries including psychiatric interviews and patient narratives, while the other group will only conduct psychiatric interviews. The Implicit Association Test (IAT) and the Attitudes Towards Mental Patients Scale will be used to assess students' implicit associations and attitudes towards psychiatric patients, and the Jefferson Empathy Scale will assess their level of empathy. Data analysis will be performed using SPSS 25.0 software. Given the widespread stigmatisation of psychiatric patients, this study is expected to make a significant contribution to improving the quality of care provided by nursing students in psychiatric settings.
