Debriefing styles and clinical judgment for undergraduate nursing students

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The study uses a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design with an initial randomized controlled trial comparing instructor-centered (ICT) and learner-centered (LCT) debriefing after simulation sessions. Quantitative measures of clinical judgment will be collected during the RCT, with methodological fidelity checks to confirm distinct debriefing styles. After the trial, focus groups will explore students' experiences to explain and contextualize the quantitative findings. The combination of randomized allocation and qualitative follow-up aims to link measurable outcomes with learners' perceptions.
