The goal of this observational study is to learn about the changes in lower leg swelling in nursing students during different learning activities. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does lower leg swelling differ between long classroom days and clinical internship days? How does hourly walking activity affect lower leg fluid buildup? Participants will have their data collected on 1 classroom day (over 6 hours) and 1 clinical internship day (8 hours). Data collected includes basic information, total step counts, and lower leg fluid levels measured with a painless, non-invasive device (Moisture Meter D).
National Taiwan University Hospital is the lead sponsor of 2,617 studies on the registry; 578 are open to participants now.
Of its 11 completed or terminated interventional studies of FDA-regulated products, 2 (18%) have results posted.
