    DescriptionAn informational podcast aims to instruct nursing students in Parkinson’s disease, helping them to feel more empathy for patients and equipping them with the knowledge needed for better Parkinson’s-specific care, a study reports.

    “By raising awareness of the disease, student nurses will develop an increased understanding, enabling them to provide support, monitor symptom progression and promote person-centredness” to people with Parkinson’s, the researchers wrote in the study, “Evaluation of a co-designed Parkinson’s awareness audio podcast for undergraduate nursing students in Northern Ireland,” published in BMC Nursing.
