A cluster‐randomized controlled trial (CRT) among 13 medical‐surgical clinical practicum groups consisting of six to eight third‐year baccalaureate nursing students was conducted to compare a WBR training enhanced by case‐based learning (WBR‐I, n = 7) with a standard WBR control group (n = 6). All participants completed the Attitudes Towards Obese Persons (ATOP) and Beliefs About Obese Persons (BAOP) questionnaires before the randomized assignment and at the end of the 14‐week semester.
