ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on improving the understanding and attitudes of nursing students about Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), a treatment used for certain mental health disorders. The study will involve fourth-year nursing students at Fenerbahçe University, specifically those enrolled in the Psychiatric and Mental Health course. To participate, students must be willing to take part in the training and meet these criteria.

Participants can expect to engage in a one-hour classroom session that covers the basics of ECT, including its history, how it works, and the nursing care required before, during, and after the procedure. Following the theoretical training, students will take part in a hands-on simulation where they will practice what they've learned. The goal is to see if this training helps students feel more knowledgeable and confident about ECT compared to their understanding before the training. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, and it aims to gather valuable insights that could enhance nursing education in mental health care.
