The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether REGULA-T, a group-based emotional-skills program, improves stress coping and emotion regulation in nursing students during their clinical placements. The program is aimed at nursing students aged 18 or older enrolled in supervised clinical placements. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does it reduce their difficulties in regulating emotions and improve their perceived emotional intelligence and coping strategies? Does the program reduce perceived stress and anxiety in students during their placements? Researchers will compare students who take part in the REGULA-T program with students who follow the standard curriculum (waiting-list control group, who are offered the program after the study) to see whether the program improves emotional wellbeing during clinical placements. Participants in the program will: * Attend a 9-session emotional-management workshop held in two modules across the academic year, timed to coincide with their clinical placements * Have access to an on-demand individual support service throughout the year * Complete online questionnaires before their placements begin and again after they finish * Optionally take part, after the final questionnaires, in an online group discussion about their experience Participants in the control group will follow their standard curriculum, complete the same online questionnaires at the same two time points, and be offered the program once the study is complete.
