BACKGROUND: Nursing students often report high anxiety and low confidence when anticipating patient aggression during mental health clinical rotations. METHOD: A quantitative, quasiexperimental pre-post design was used to evaluate the feasibility of implementing preclinical aggression management training with a small cohort of students at one site. RESULTS: Training was implemented without barriers, demonstrating feasibility. Preliminary findings suggest potential benefits for student preparedness, although sample size and setting were limited. CONCLUSION: Aggression management training prior to clinical placement is feasible and warrants larger, multisite studies to evaluate effectiveness in reducing student anxiety and improving confidence
