Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Eligible participants are nurses aged 18–65 who have worked at the institution for at least three months and volunteer to participate.
✕Probably not a fit
Non-nurses, nurses over 65, those who do not volunteer, and participants randomized to the control group (who receive no training during the study period) will not receive the intervention benefit during the trial.

What this trial studies
This randomized controlled study uses a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up design to compare nurses who receive a three-week structured productivity training program with a control group that receives no intervention during the same period. Participants complete a Personal Information Form and standardized measures including the Nurses' Attitudes Toward Productivity Scale and the Perceived Job Stress Scale before and after the intervention and at follow-up. The experimental group receives structured sessions over three weeks that target productivity-related skills and attitudes, while the control group continues usual work without added training. Outcomes will compare changes in perceived job stress and productivity attitudes between groups over time.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the training could reduce nurses' perceived job stress and improve their attitudes toward productivity, potentially improving workplace well-being and performance.
How similar studies have gone: Previous workplace training and stress-management programs for healthcare staff have produced mixed but often positive effects on perceived stress and attitudes, so this approach has some supporting evidence though results vary.
